context_section_description: On November 22, 2016, in his first season at Tennessee, Fulkerson recorded 12 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a 69–65 overtime loss to 13th-ranked Oregon. On December 15 against Lipscomb, he fractured his right wrist and dislocated his right elbow, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Fulkerson underwent surgery for the injury and was granted a medical redshirt. Before playing another game, he suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder that required another surgery. In his following season, as a redshirt freshman, Fulkerson averaged 9.3 minutes per game. In his sophomore season, he served as Tennessee's primary frontcourt player off the bench. On December 29, 2018, Fulkerson scored a season-high 15 points in a 96–53 win over Tennessee Tech. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
  In his junior season, Fulkerson was placed in a more important role with the departures of Grant Williams and Kyle Alexander. On February 15, 2020, Fulkerson posted 25 points in a 63–61 loss to South Carolina. On March 3, he scored a career-high 27 points to help unranked Tennessee overcome a 17-point deficit and upset sixth-ranked Kentucky, 81–73. Fulkerson finished the season averaging 13.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game and was named to the Second Team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) by the league's coaches. He led his team in scoring, rebounding and steals, while shooting 61.2 percent from the field, which ranked second in the SEC and fourth in school history.
