Kalel Mullings’ journey at Michigan was a fascinating one to track from start to finish. Mullings arrived in Ann Arbor as a linebacker but would convert to linebacker midway through his third year at Michigan. It wasn’t until his fifth and final season at Michigan where he became a lead back, a season in which 79% of his career carries came, rushing for 948 yards and six rushing touchdowns.
