No. 14 Trayvon Mullen names a leader

PLANTATION, Fla. -- The 14th-ranked player in the ESPN Junior 300, Trayvon Mullen, was one of only four players to get invited to The Opening at the conclusion of the Nike regional football camp on Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound athlete from Coconut Creek (Florida) High School was impressive and won several one-on-one battles against an extremely deep and talented group of receivers at the Nike Football The Opening Miami Regional.

Mullen arrived to the camp decked out in an LSU back pack, jacket and gloves. So is it safe to assume that the No. 1-ranked cornerback in the country has the Tigers on top?

“Right now, yes LSU is my leader,” Mullen said. “I just like the people, coaches and just the atmosphere there. Coach [Corey] Raymond is a great dude. I talk to him everyday actually. He’s just a great guy. We just talk about everything; we barely talk about football. Mostly we just talk about life and things like that.”

In addition to the Tigers, Mullen said there are several other high-level schools recruiting him.

“I wouldn’t say I have other top schools, but schools are coming after me hard like Florida State, Auburn, Ohio State, TCU, Florida and a few others. I’ll take some other visits over the spring and summer like Notre Dame, Ole Miss, UCLA and probably some others.”

Mullen, who is planning to announce his commitment during his senior season, said his decision will come down to where he feels the most comfortable.

"I’m just really looking for that family atmosphere,” Mullen. "I just want to be comfortable and be around people that I can see myself with everyday because that’s where I’m going to be for the next three-to-four years."
