Richlands’ Fuller Earns Offer from VT

Last season was the first for Austin Fuller as a starting wide receiver for Richlands High School’s varsity football program, and he certainly didn’t disappoint. The 6-2 1/2, 195-pound Fuller finished the year with 57 receptions and set a school record for yards in a single season with 1,092. He had 15 touchdown receptions.
