Sullivan played for former NBA player John Olive at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego and committed to the University of San Diego as a part of new coach Sam Scholl's first recruiting class.[1] Sullivan played three seasons for the Toreros, the last a COVID-shortened 3–11 season. He averaged 6 points in 74 games for the Toreros.
Sullivan then transferred to Vermont where, after an initial adjustment to a new league and system, he provided reliable outside shooting to the defense-oriented Catamounts.[2] In taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility offered by the NCAA to athletes playing during the COVID pandemic, Sullivan returned to Vermont for a fifth season. He averaged a career-best 11.7 points per game, displaying a strong overall floor game (4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game) and leading the Catamounts to America East regular-season and tournament championships.[3] At the close of his final year of eligibility, Sullivan was named first-team All-America East Conference and the America East Player of the Year.[4][5]
