SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA Roadrunners have added one more guard to the men's basketball roster, as head coach Steve Henson announced the signing of Dre Fuller Jr. on Tuesday, July 11.
"We are excited to add a player who has already competed in The American," Henson said. "Dre played substantial minutes at UCF and he will bring that experience and maturity to our team. He can make plays with the ball in his hands, plus his instincts and feel for the game make him an excellent cutter as well. He seems to have a lot of fun when he is on the court, and we know that he can be a key player for us."
A 6-foot-6, 220-pound guard originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Fuller joins the Roadrunners after playing three seasons at UCF.
Playing in 67 games across his time in Orlando, Fuller made 27 starts for the Knights, averaging 5.7 points per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the floor, with 3.4 rebounds per game and 1.5 assists per contest across the three-season stretch. In his second season with the Knights, Fuller started 14-of-23 games and shot 41.4 percent, averaging 7.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per outing, recording 27.6 minutes per game. He also added 24 steals and seven blocked shots. In 2020-21, Fuller scored in double-figures against American Athletic Conference foes Memphis, Wichita State and Temple, as well as Cincinnati and Houston – and a 13-point, seven-rebound, five-assist night against Auburn.
His family hails from North Carolina but made the move south after his freshman year, playing his final three prep seasons at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida. Fuller led his BlueJackets squad to Regionals and AFA amassed a 36-12 record across his final two seasons. Ranked a three-star recruit coming out of high school by Rivals and 247Sports, he was a nominee for the McDonald's All-America Game and earned first team all-conference honors.
