The college football transfer portal reopened on Saturday following spring practice, and Indiana had its first entry on Wednesday.
Cornerback Trevell Mullen announced on Twitter that he has decided to enter the transfer portal. Mullen was Indiana's seventh-highest recruit in program history, a consensus four-star recruit and the No. 254 player in the class of 2022 out of Coconut Creek High School in Florida.
"Dear Indiana, First I would like to start off by saying how grateful I am to come to Indiana University and get an opportunity to practice and take the field with my brothers," Mullen wrote. "I would also like to thank my brother Tiawan Mullen for taking me under his wing when I stepped foot on campus and for helping me develop during my time here."
"I would like to thank coach Shelby, coach Allen and the rest of the coaching staff for treating me like family and helping me develop at this level. I would also like to thank everyone that has helped me develop into the person I am today, both on and off the field."
"With all the peace in my heart, I have decided to enter the transfer portal and will seek other opportunities to further my college career as a student-athlete. Thank you Hoosier Nation, and best wishes!"
Coach Tom Allen recruited the highest-ranked class in program history in 2022, but its top two players, Mullen and Dasan McCullough, who now plays for Oklahoma, both left the program after one season.
Trevell is the younger brother of former Indiana cornerback Tiawan Mullen, who was a first-team All-American during the 2020 season and declared for the NFL Draft following his senior year in 2022.
Trevell redshirted the 2022 season in his first year at Indiana. He was named special teams scout team player of the week against Western Kentucky and co-defensive scout team player of the week against Rutgers.
With the departure of his older brother Tiawan, as well as Jaylin Williams, Indiana has two starting cornerback spots up for grabs. Allen added Texas transfer Jamier Johnson and Texas Tech transfer Kobee Minor to the roster this offseason to compete for those spots, along with returning players like James Monds III and Jamari Sharpe.
