AT COLORADO: Career Note - He finished with 61 special team points, 10th all-time in Buff history.

2014 (Sr.) - He saw action in all 12 games on special teams and in 10 on defense, including two starts (Washington, Arizona). He was in for 309 total snaps and recorded 43 tackles (27 solo, seven for losses), with two others stops for zero gains. He tied for second on the team in third down stops with nine (which included two on fourth down). Against UCLA, when he played the most snaps of any game over the course of the season (74), he made a career-high 12 tackles (nine solo, one for a loss). He had eight tackles (five solo) against Washington, seven versus Utah (four unassisted), and recorded five stops in three other games (Hawai’i, Oregon State, Arizona). He finished sixth on the team in special team points with 17, on the strength of four solo tackles and 13 knockdown blocks on the kickoff return unit.

2013 (Jr.) - He played in 11 games (one start, versus Southern California) and in eight on defense, missing the finale at Utah with a sprained ankle he suffered against the Trojans. He saw action both inside and outside; in fact his start against USC was at outside ‘backer; he was in for 113 plays from scrimmage, recording 16 tackles (13 solo) for the season. He had two tackles for zero, a third down stop and a forced fumble, the latter at Arizona State when he saw his most scrimmage action of the year (32 plays); he logged a season-high 10 tackles (eight solo) against the Sun Devils. The coaches named him the co-recipient of the Bill McCartney Award, given for special teams achievement, as he tied for second with 18 special team points on the strength of four tackles (two inside-the-20), 10 knockdown blocks on returns, a caused penalty and a first downfield credit that altered a return. He had missed the last portion of spring drills with a slight knee sprain, but the coaches still presented him with the Dick Anderson Award for outstanding toughness.

2012 (Soph.) - He played in 10 games, including one start (Stanford); he missed the USC and Oregon games after suffering a cervical spine strain against Arizona State. He was in for 250 snaps from scrimmage, recording 40 tackles, which included 31 solo, five for losses including a quarterback sack, three stops for zero gains and two third down stops. He also had a forced fumble (against Colorado State) and a pass broken up. He had a season-high nine tackles (seven solo) against Stanford, when he played 67 snaps and registered his sack and pass deflection. He had six tackles against Arizona State and five each against Fresno State and Washington. He won the Bill McCartney Award for special teams achievement; he finished second on the team in special team points with 21, as he was in on six tackles (one inside-the-20), recorded 12 knockdown blocks, caused one penalty and recovered a blocked kick.

2011 (Fr.) - He saw action in 12 games as a true freshman, nine on defense (no starts; he missed the Colorado State game with a hip contusion). He saw just 82 snaps from scrimmage, but recorded 18 tackles, or one for every 4.6 plays which led the team; 13 of the stops were solo. He had a season-high six tackles (four solo) at Washington, with five the very next week against Oregon (four solo). He also racked up six special team points on the strength of five tackles (one solo, with one of the assists coming inside-the-20).

HIGH SCHOOL - As a senior, he was a PrepStar All-Region selection and SuperPrep All-Midlands team member, the latter ranking him as the No. 58 player in the region and the No. 6 linebacker and No. 8 overall player from Colorado. He was named on the prestigious Tacoma News-Tribune Western 100 list and was one of 12 linebackers on the squad. Scout.com listed him as the No. 32 middle linebacker and Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 35 inside linebacker; he was the top inside linebacker from Colorado by both publications. ESPN ranked him as the No. 65 inside linebacker nationally (the No. 13 player from Colorado). He earned first-team All-Colorado and All-State (5A) honors by the Denver Post and was also named first-team All-Big 6 Conference. He earned second-team All-Centennial League honors as a junior and made the honorable mention squad after his sophomore season as Mullen switched league affiliation prior to his senior season. His senior season he recorded 141 tackles (73 solo) including 11 for losses (five quarterback sacks) to go along with two interceptions, one pass break-up and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown. As a junior, he totaled 127 tackles (72 solo) with one sack. Between his junior and senior seasons, he was a critical part of a defense that combined for 12 shut outs and 11 more games allowing seven or fewer points in 28 games during that span. Under former CU All-American Dave Logan, Mullen compiled a 40-2 record during his three varsity seasons, winning three Colorado State 5A Championships; that included back-to-back 14-0 seasons and a 33-game winning streak to end his career. He lists his top games as the state championship game from each season: he had nine tackles and a sack in a 37-6 win over Regis in the state final his senior year; that same season, he also had 15 tackles in a 35-0 win over Columbine and had 11 tackles, one sack and two fumble recoveries, returning one for a touchdown, in a 41-24 win over Cherry Creek. He had eight solo tackles and 13 overall in a 34-14 win over Bear Creek. Top games his junior season included a nine tackle effort in a 27-24 win over Pomona in the state title game, along with 11 tackles and a sack against Arapahoe (a 40-0 victory) and 13 tackles in a 37-15 win over Cherry Creek. He also had 10 tackles and a fumble recovery in a 44-0 win over Boulder.

ACADEMICS - He is majoring in English at Colorado, and is on schedule to graduate in May 2015. He earned several academic honors as a prep at Mullen.

PERSONAL - He was born November 13, 1992 in Littleton, Colo. His hobbies include fly-fishing, playing basketball and video games. He volunteered through Mullen for a program called World Vision that collected and packed clothes and shoes and sent then abroad to those in need. He was the first player to commit to CU in the 2011 recruiting class (doing so the previous July 19). Last name is pronounced day.
