The University of Michigan has added another linebacker to its recruiting class. Four-star recruit Kalel Mullings has committed to the Wolverines, making him the fourth linebacker that Michigan has successfully recruited. This is part of an effort to strengthen the Wolverines defense, which has been a staple for success under Jim Harbaugh’s coaching tenure.
Who Is Kalel Mullings?
Kalel Mullings hails from West Roxbury, Massachusetts. He attended the Milton Academy, where he helped lead the team to an Independent School League Championship in 2019. Playing on both offense and defense, Mullings generated 371 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns in his senior year. As a linebacker, he recorded two sacks and two interceptions in his senior year.
Mullings is a four-star performer according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, making him the top-rated player in Massachusetts and the 13th-best outside linebacker in the country. Rivals.com also rates him as a four-star prospect and he is an ESPN300 member as the top player coming out of the state of Massachusetts.
As a result of his successful senior year, Mullings got to play in both the All-American and Polynesian Bowl all-star games. He joins Osman Savage, Nikhai Hill-Green and Cornell Wheeler as the linebacker recruits going to Michigan thus far.
