Steady Senior DL Transfer Bringing Ivy Grit to Struggling Charlotte D-Line
Senior Braden Mullen (6-4, 245 lbs), a Dec 2024 transfer from Dartmouth, posted 19 tackles (5 solo), 1.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks, 1 PBU, and 1 QB hurry in 12 games for the 1-11 Charlotte 49ers in 2025, showing reliable run-stopping presence amid a porous defense[1][2]. His Ivy League pedigree—79 career tackles, 12.5 sacks at Dartmouth—highlights disciplined technique, high motor, and edge-rushing upside that could thrive in a better scheme. No injury red flags; a gritty, team-first leader perfect for depth on competitive fronts needing FCS-to-FBS polish.[2][5]
