Sarah Fuller, PK, Vanderbilt
- Fuller made history Saturday, becoming the first woman ever to officially take the field during a football game in a and major conference football game.
- Served as the Commodores’ primary kicker during the team’s contest at Missouri.
- She took the opening kickoff of the second half against the Tigers, as her perfectly-executed kick sailed 30 yards and was downed at the Missouri 35-yard line. She joined the likes of New Mexico’s Katie Hnida and Kent State’s April Goss as the only females to appear in a Football Bowl Subdivision contest.
Well done by Fuller, Vanderbilt, and the Southeastern Conference.
Her effort received a compliment from another woman of accomplishment.
Thank you, Sarah, for helping to prove that women and girls belong on every playing field—quite literally.🏈 https://t.co/Ig33gePL08
