Greg McMullen was a steady, high-mileage Blackshirt edge who lived in opposing backfields
In his Nebraska career, Greg McMullen developed into a veteran defensive end with real game reps, starting all 26 games over his final two seasons and finishing with 90 tackles, 9 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles in career totals. His best trait was reliability: he played heavy snaps, set a sturdy edge, and brought a grown-man frame at 6-5, 300 pounds. He wasn’t just a stat-sheet hunter; his value was consistency, toughness, and disruptive flashes in key moments—exactly the kind of dependable lineman coaches trust.
