Jackson State’s bruising, high-efficiency workhorse
In the 2024 season, Irv Mulligan was one of Jackson State’s engine pieces, rushing for 1,265 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging 6.1 yards per carry; he also led the SWAC in rushing TDs and posted six 100-yard games, including a 187-yard eruption against Mississippi Valley State. Mulligan is the kind of back coaches love: compact, physical, and efficient with enough burst to punish missed tackles. He brings production, reliability, and a proven big-game ceiling—ideal if you want a downhill RB who can carry a workload and finish drives.
