Kalel Mullings has been a Swiss Army Knife for the Michigan Wolverines throughout his career. A key contributor on offense and special teams, he is now poised to take on his most significant role yet. As the Wolverines prepare for life after Blake Corum, Mullings’ potential as a change-of-pace back could be a vital piece of the offensive puzzle.
Entering his fifth season, all signs point to this being Mullings’ breakout year. With Corum, one of the most productive players in Michigan history, having moved on, the backfield is ripe for new leaders to emerge. Mullings is expected to be among those stepping up, and the coaches believe star production is on the horizon.
