Alex Mullings, Georgia State DT: the 2026 season story
Alex Mullings is a sophomore defensive lineman for Georgia State (Sun Belt). He ranks 1059th of 1,709 defensive linemen in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every defensive lineman on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked defensive lineman, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Alex Mullings's strongest measure is passes defended per game at 0.20, 119th of 892 (the average is 0.08). His weakest is tackles for loss per game at 0.18, 689th of 892 (the average is 0.40).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His tackles per game, 1.9, ranks 651st among 892 ranked defensive linemen.
Against every defensive lineman
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked defensive linemen he sits, on average, in the 27th percentile for volume and 48th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 9 games, Alex Mullings's best came in week 4 against Northern Illinois and his quietest in week 10 at App State.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every defensive lineman on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Alex Mullings is 625th of 892 FBS defensive linemen and 56th of 93 in the Sun Belt. Next up nationally is Chase Taylor of Michigan, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Defensive linemen like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Immanuel Hawkins of Prairie View A&M.
