Kalel Mullings remains an underrated gem in the prestigious EA Sports College Football 25 list with an overall 81 rank. But in reality, he’s becoming a showstopper. The young prodigy brings more to the table for the Wolverines than expected as a regular RB. Saturday’s season opener for Michigan earned him the deserved spotlight surpassing the offseason key figure, Donovan Edwards. Although, in the beginning, it was all Edwards, the much hyped-up senior RB, Mullings took the onus on him to fill for a slump in the offensive line. The fifth-year senior ended with an awesome note containing 15 carries, and 92 yards on the ground. And The surprising takeaway? The presumed backup seemed to carry out the role of a lead backup and garnered all the deserved laud.

All of these recent stats must make you wonder where the food for the flagship Running Beck’s ultimate drive to be the best of his league comes from. Well, to meet your quench, his phenomenal parents deem their son the next Tom Brady.

Who Are Kalel Mullings’ Parents?

‘He was often bigger, stronger, and faster than the other kids, so we never tried to hold him back’ : this is how distinctively Del Mullings used to treat his superstar son. It’s safe to say that the Michigan sensation was an early bloomer. The rest was his parents’ immense faith in his ability, which allowed him to tackle the grown-up kids in the varsity at just 13. The safe space to shine out fully and freely resulted in a meteoric rise for the 22-year-old.

Mom, Calicia Mullings, who has been a crucial figure in Cornell and a former member of the board of advisors at Turf University, used to monitor his son’s on-field progress quite meticulously. It goes to his mom’s credit score that Mullings rose to the rank of choosing between offers from multiple tier-one universities very seamlessly during his freshman era.
