Tiawan Mullen

The brother of National Champion defensive back from Clemson, Trayvon Mullen, Tiawan Mullen is ready to pave his own path at Indiana.

Coming in as one of the best cornerbacks in the country, Mullen will be competing for snaps in the secondary immediately.

Slightly undersized at just 5-foot-10, Mullen makes up for it with his anticipation and ability to read the quarterback’s eyes. Once he makes a a break on the ball and is in the open field, his speed is what separates him from others at his position.

After losing Jonathan Crawford to graduation, there is now a lot of unproven players in the secondary. Behind the returning starters, there is very few players with notable experience leaving the door open for Mullen.
