High school career

Bullock attended Kecoughtan High School where he was coached by Ivan Thomas. Bullock scored 1,778 points in his high school career and was named Daily Press Player of the Year as a senior. He committed to Providence because he developed a good relationship with coach Ed Cooley, joining teammate Josh Fortune on the Friars.

College career

Along with teammate Brandon Austin, Bullock was suspended for unspecified reasons before his freshman season and did not play. It was later revealed that he was accused of sexual assault. A grand jury did not indict him due to insufficient evidence. Bullock also missed his 2014-15 season due to tearing his ACL in preseason practice. “It was definitely a difficult point of my life,” he said. “I had great teammates and great support with my mentors."
In his first collegiate game on November 14, 2015, he debuted with 20 points and six rebounds. He scored on an inbounds play with 1.5 seconds remaining in the 2016 NCAA Tournament first round game versus USC, thus giving the Friars the win. In his redshirt sophomore season, he averaged 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Coming into his junior season, Bullock needed to shoulder more responsibility due to the loss of Kris Dunn and Ben Bentil. He responded by scoring more the 20 points in nine games and led the Friars to a 20-13 record and fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Bullock scored a career-high 36 points in a 76-62 win over New Hampshire on November 30, 2016. As a junior, Bullock was named to the Second Team All-Big East and averaged 15.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
