Vanderbilt women's soccer player Sarah Fuller could take snaps on Saturday when the Commodores' football team travels to Missouri. Coach Derek Mason said Wednesday during his SEC teleconference that Fuller, Vanderbilt's goalkeeper, is "an option" for his team due to the shortage of specialists this week. That's due to more COVID-19 related quarantines, which have wreaked havoc on Vanderbilt's depth chart all season.
"Sarah is part of our women's soccer SEC championship team. Obviously they just played in the finals on Sunday. For us finding out a couple things about maybe some of our specialists, I reached out to Darren Ambrose -- me and Darren are extremely close. Our teams are close, to be honest. Just wanted to see how Sarah would actually work as an option," Mason said. "I had her out, had a chance to look at what she can do with the football. She's really good with the soccer ball, seems to be really good with the football. We'll see. She's an option. we'll keep all our options open. We'll see what she can do on Saturday if given the opportunity."
The university's student newspaper, the Vanderbilt Hustler, reported on Tuesday that Fuller had been practicing with the team.
"I've seen her kick in practice. And I saw her off the team kick a couple field goals. I just wanted to see how strong her leg was. I can tell you, she has a strong leg. We'll see what that yields in terms of distances and where we're at. I'm not even talking about that now," Mason said. "It's day to day to go evaluate where she is. Like I said, Sarah is an option. she seems to be a pretty good option. We'll see what that looks like on Saturday."
Vanderbilt is 3 of 7 on field goal attempts on the season. Should Fuller actually attempt a kick this weekend, it is believed that she would be the first female to play in a Power Five football game. She would also be on a very short list of women who have played in a Division I FBS game. Former Colorado and New Mexico kicker Katie Hnida was the first female player to score points in a Division I FBS game when she kicked two extra points for the Lobos in 2003.
