\u201cIt felt like one big family here,\u201d Mullen told Spiegelman about his decision. \u201cAll the coaches I met were super nice and friendly. I felt like I fit in pretty well with the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me it seemed as if I had known them for a while and we were just catching up. The atmosphere here is just something that I haven\u2019t felt anywhere else. I just got that feeling that this is the right place to continue my academic and athletic career.\u201d<\/p>\n

The towering trench monster joins a class that ranks inside the top 50 of the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Mullen is commit No. 9 for head coach Willie Fritz<\/a> and the Cougars.<\/p>\n

Mullen is the first offensive lineman to join the Big 12 program\u2019s haul this cycle. He\u2019s also the seventh in-state recruit to choose Houston.<\/p>\n

Other top commits in the class include: Newton (Texas) three-star running back KJ Porter<\/a>, Houston Cy Ranch three-star quarterback Braden Baker<\/a>, Baton Rouge (La.) Central three-star wide receiver Marcus Watson<\/a>, Houston C.E. King three-star WR Braylon Lane<\/a> and Ruston (La.) three-star WR Josiah Morgan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
