Mullen has been active in the transfer portal after taking over at UNLV. The Rebels now have 23 players coming in from the portal, including two quarterbacks in Anthony Colandrea and Alex Orji. They’re part of a growing haul for Mullen, who’s heading back to the sidelines after three years at ESPN.
In fact, he argued that time on TV helped him as he transitions back to coaching. Mullen said he watched film on players across the sport, leading him to some hidden gems.
“We actually got two [quarterbacks] – Anthony Colandrea from UVA, that I’ve seen make a ton of plays, and Alex Orji,” Mullen said. “The greatest thing you have being at ESPN, I’ve gotten to watch everybody play. You sit in that room all day, and I’m watching every game in college football. I’ve seen them all.
“I got to watch Anthony live. His ability to extend plays, scramble around, throw the ball, tremendous arm talent. Really excited about what he brings to the table. Alex Orji, he’s undefeated against Ohio State. He’s won.”
