Ryan McMullen joins the Middle Tennessee staff as a graduate assistant for the 2024-25 season. McMullen joined the Blue Raiders after spending three years as a manager at Marquette University under head coach Shaka Smart.
During McMullen's time at Marquette, the Golden Eagles made program history, winning their first Big East regular season and conference championship in 2022-23. The team's 56 wins in a two-year span were the most in school history in consecutive years. Marquette advanced to its 17th NCAA Sweet 16 appearance during the 2023-24 season. In his three-year tenure, McMullen worked with three Marquette student-athletes who were selected in the NBA Draft - Olivier Maxence-Prosper (Dallas Mavericks), Tyler Kolek (New York Knicks) and Oso Ighodaro (Phoenix Suns).
He assisted in practices, individual player workouts, recruiting tasks, film and statistical projects and managed equipment operations.
McMullen created an Instagram account known as @NCAAHoopsNow, where he covered college and high school basketball on a national level from 2015-2023. Some of his work consisted of commitment graphics, breaking news and more. A handful of his content pieces ultimately reached national media outlets including ESPN and Bleacher Report.
A native of Franklin, Massachusetts, McMullen earned his B.S. in Journalism from Marquette in May 2024.
