Former UF, LSU DT Lee reunites with Mullen at UNLV

By Matt Moscona

Former LSU defensive tackle Jalen Lee has reunited with Dan Mullen at UNLV, where he will play his final season of eligibility.

Lee was a four-star prospect out of Watson (La.) Live Oak in 2020 when he signed with Florida and Mullen. After playing in 25 games over three seasons with the Gators, Lee transferred to his home state Tigers where he spent the past two seasons. In 2024, Lee played in only four games, maintaining his redshirt season which he will use at UNLV.

Mullen was fired following the 2021 seasons, his fourth at Florida. He spent the past three seasons working as a college football analyst for ESPN before accepting the UNLV job last month.
