Fugler played at Ferriday High School where his team won three straight Class A state championships from 1954–1956 under coach Johnny Robertson.[1]
Fugler began his LSU career as a running back in 1957, seeing limited playing time as he rushed 16 times on the season for 54 yards.[2] In 1958 and 1959, Fugler was a part of the "White Team," the starting unit in coach Paul Dietzel's 3-platoon system and played both offense and defense.[3] He made several key plays and goal-line stands on defense during LSU's championship season in 1958, and blocked for All-SEC backs Billy Cannon, Johnny Robinson, and Warren Rabb on offense.[4] He was named an All-American in 1958 by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), and an All-SEC selection by United Press International (UPI).[5][6]
