UT Martin’s steady, versatile safety with proven ball skills
Nissi Mukulu enters UT Martin in 2026 as a junior safety with real production behind him: in the 2025 season at Mars Hill, he logged 44 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, and two pass breakups. He looks like a useful fit for a defense that values consistency and downhill support, and his ability to create turnovers gives him a differentiator beyond just being a solid tackler. At 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he brings size, experience, and special-teams value — the kind of player coaches usually love because he can help in multiple phases right away.
