Isaiah Mullens is set to join Boyd Dietzen at the defensive end position in Madison. Mullens marked a 5.3 second 40-yard dash and a 29.3” vertical jump, despite his large size. The defensive lineman out of Ohio adds the ability to disengage a blocker in the run game to his set of “uncoachable” traits, making him the perfect addition to the depth chart at Wisconsin.
