Each year, the Lott IMPACT Trophy is awarded to college football’s defensive best in both character and performance. Fuller was announced as one of four finalists for the award Friday afternoon:

Fuller is the lone Big Ten representative. The acronym for the award — IMPACT in particular — is Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

The annual awards banquet will be held Sunday, Dec. 15. The last Buckeye to win the award was linebacker James Laurinaitis back in 2008.

Fuller is also a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy as the nation’s top scholar-athlete.
