This follows commitments from four-star defensive back JJ Dunnigan on Nov. 9, four-star defensive lineman DeAnthony Lafayette on Nov. 10 and three-star defensive lineman Isaac Chukwurah on Nov. 11 and three-star defensive lineman Logan Nagle on Wednesday.
Out of Wheaton (Illinois) South Elgin High, Mueller is ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect out of Illinois, the No. 11 overall tight end and the No. 248 overall prospect in the Class of 2026 regardless of position.
