Transfers to Florida Atlantic Fuller has committed to play for Florida Atlantic, he announced via his personal Twitter account Wednesday.

Impact After three seasons with UCF, Fuller is on the move to Florida Atlantic. As a junior, Fuller averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game, and these numbers were lower than in the two years prior. Fuller's season was riddled with injuries, and despite starting a total of 27 games between his freshman and sophomore years, he did not get the opportunity to do so as a junior. Fuller will look to get more consistent playing time and hopefully a starting position with the Owls.

Sidelined against Houston Fuller did not see the court in Saturday's 63-49 loss to Houston.

Impact Fuller has been a steady contributor in a reserve capacity and had been averaging 11.6 mpg in the five contests leading up to Saturday. It's unclear if there's an injury in play or if Fuller's absence was matchup-related, as the knights did play four reserves in the contest. Fuller's next chance to take the court will be a home matchup Thursday against USF.

Will be available Sunday Fuller (undisclosed) will be available for Sunday's game against SMU, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Fuller has missed three of the last four games for UCF but will return at an ideal time as the team heads into conference play. The 6-5 junior has seen his role drastically decrease this year, as he's averaging just 3.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game.

Battling the flu Fuller did not take the court in Saturday's 83-68 victory over North Carolina A&T.

Impact Per what appears to be his personal Twitter account, Fuller appears to be battling the flu but also says he's been feeling better. It's unclear what his status will be in advance of Wednesday's conference matchup at Temple. Fuller has been a key reserve at both forward spots for the Knights this season, scoring in all seven games he's appeared in. Both his scoring (4.4 ppg) and rebounding (2.7 rpg) are down from last year's marks, however, as he's playing less than half of his 27.4 mpg average from 2020-21.
