Andre Fuller

Andre Fuller, the oldest of six children in his family, grew up in Palm Beach, Fla., with his mother (Fran Edmond). He played cornerback and wide receiver at Seminole Ridge Community High School and earned all-county and all-district honors as a senior in 2019. A no-star recruit, he signed with Arkansas-Pine Bluff and played two seasons for the FCS program. Through a connection with assistant coach Ross Watson, he transferred up to Toledo and was a reserve safety in 2022 and 2023. He moved to cornerback for his senior season in 2024 but suffered a core muscle injury, which required sports hernia surgery and sidelined him for the season. He returned in 2025 and earned first-team All-MAC honors. Just a one-year starter in the FBS, Fuller put himself in draftable territory with his 2025 performance (42.3 percent completion rate when targeted). He has a natural feel as a man-cover defender to get physical at the line, quickly find his balance (regardless of his footwork) and stay with route runners through the stem. His recovery speed is lacking, but when in phase, he can find the ball downfield and turn potential deep catches into incompletions. His eye level from off coverage and open-field tackling are solid but need additional work. Overall, Fuller has only adequate speed and plays with grabby tendencies, but he is a good-sized athlete who has smooth transitions and confidence in coverage to make plays on the football.
