AT COLORADO: This Season (Soph.)-Enters the fall listed third at right offensive guard, but not much is settled in the offensive line depth at this juncture.

2008 (Fr.-RS)-He saw action in two games, Texas and Missouri, playing 31 total snaps on the year (15 versus the Longhorns, 16 at Mizzou); he had three knockdown blocks total, two against the Tigers, when he graded out to over 80 percent.  He added 25 pounds to his frame in the one year since he arrived at Colorado.

2007 (Fr.)-Redshirted; he practiced the entire fall on the offensive line and dressed for nine games, including the Independence Bowl.  The coaches selected him as the offensive scout team player of the week for the Miami-Ohio game.

HIGH SCHOOL-A SuperPrep All-Midlands performer, as it ranked him as the No. 32 overall player in the region and as the seventh offensive lineman; Rivals.com ranked him the No. 48 offensive guard in the nation (Scout.com tabbed him No. 70).  He was an All-Colorado selection by the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post as a senior, when he was also first-team All-State (5A) and All-Centennial League.  A three-year letterman, he was considered a tenacious blocker in both running and passing situations as he was a key performer for the state's top-rated offense.  He was also a team captain as he manned the center and guard positions, finishing with 90 pancake blocks. He allowed no sacks on the season and helped pave the way for running back Phillip Morelli to average 11.4 yards per carry.  He was named second-team all-league as a junior, and was the team's most improved lineman as a sophomore when he played center and backed up Oklahoma-bound Jesse White at guard.  His best game came in his senior season when he recorded six pancake blocks and three touchdown blocks in a 41-38 double overtime win over Douglas County. Under coach Dave Logan, Mullen made it to the state title game all three years Daniels played varsity.  Mullen went 13-1 in his senior season, losing to Columbine 13-10 in the title game. His junior team went 11-3 before losing to Douglas County, and his sophomore team finished 13-1 en route to the state title (thus was 37-5 in his prep career).  He also played baseball as a freshman, and lettered three times in power lifting, taking third place in state as a junior, finishing behind two seniors.

ACADEMICS- He is majoring in Environmental Studies at Colorado.  He owned a 3.2 grade point average in high school and was a member of the Honor Roll his sophomore through senior years.

PERSONAL-Born February 27, 1989 in Denver, Colo.  His hobbies include outdoor sports, weightlifting, fishing, skiing and riding ATVs.  He wanted to play for Colorado because it was his dream and he wanted to play in the Big 12.  His older brother, Brian, lettered four years (2003-06) at offensive guard for the Buffaloes; he started more games (9) as a true freshman than any other player in Colorado history and is now in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings.
