Jersey Sports Zone looks back on the impact Kyle Mullen had at Manalapan High School
National headlines hit close to home when a Navy Seal candidate died Feb. 4 while going through the training regimen known as “Hell Week”. Kyle Mullen, a 2015 graduate of Manalapan High School, was identified by Navy officials on Sunday. He was 24 years old. Mullen played college football at Yale University where he was a team captain and finished his playing career at Monmouth University.
At Manalapan, Mullen was a rare two-way starter for a Braves team that went 11-1 in 2014 winning the Central Jersey Group 5 championship. Mullen had 136 tackles at defensive end and caught six TD passes for head coach Ed Gurrieri. He was also a starter on the Manalapan boys basketball team.
