Jonathan Mulatu brings veteran Penn backfield know-how and proven burst
Mulatu is a seasoned Penn runner who flashed real juice in the 2022 season, when he totaled 321 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns and delivered a monster 154-yard, 2-TD game at Brown. He’s a compact, dependable back with enough receiving value to stay on the field, and Penn’s own notes called him ready to handle a starting role after earning significant backup snaps. Why care? He’s the kind of experienced, physical, low-drama back who can give a team reliable downhill production and toughness in meaningful moments.
