Jessy McMullin brings size, edge, and line-grit to Southern Illinois
Jessy McMullin is a 6-foot-6, 288-pound offensive lineman whose calling card has been toughness and development: at Southern Illinois, he earned MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors after the SEMO game in 2011, started the first seven games that season, and was sidelined late by injury. He also came in with a strong résumé from Iowa Western and high school wrestling/track, which usually signals good balance, leverage, and competitive nastiness in the trenches. If you want a physical, battle-tested interior presence with upside, he’s the kind of lineman who should perk up a coach’s ears.
