2003 Media Guide: Scott McMullen is the Buckeyes’ No. 2 signal caller and an outstanding player in his own right … has a strong arm, a deft touch and an extremely quick release … like Krenzel, is extremely bright … has seen only limited action throughout his career, but has played extremely well when called upon … overlooked by some outside the program, but certainly not by OSU coaches who are extremely confident in his ability.

2002 Season: Appeared in five games and completed an impressive 80 percent of his passes, connecting on 25 of 31 attempts for 315 yards and two touchdowns … most of his playing time came early in the season … hit 7-of-11 passes against Kent State in his first extensive action of the year … was a perfect 7-for-7 against Indiana, including a 14-yard touchdown strike to Michael Jenkins … best game of the year came against San Jose State, when he completed 8-of-9 passes for 114 yards … only appearance in Big Ten play was against Minnesota … like Krenzel can be a dangerous runner, but prefers to stay in the pocket and read the progression … entered the season having played a total of 38 minutes in eight games.

2002 Media Guide: Scott McMullen currently listed as No. 2 on the depth chart at quarterback, but still in the hunt for playing time and possibly a starting spot, depending on his performance in the fall … entered spring ball slightly behind Craig Krenzel in the battle to replace Steve Bellisari … was essentially in the same place at the end of the 15 spring practices … has the stronger arm of the two upperclassmen, possesses a quick release and doesn’t rattle easily … like Krenzel, can be an effective runner … has played in a total of eight games (5 last year and 3 in 2000) for a total of 38 minutes … made his first career start last year against Illinois.

2001 Season: Last-minute starter against Illinois after Steve Bellisari was ruled out the day before the game … completed four-of-13 passes against the Illini, but did throw a 10-yard touchdown pass that tied the score at 7-all … had played in four games for a total of 15 minutes prior to Illinois.

2001 Media Guide: Scott McMullen came out of spring ball as the No. 2 on the depth chart – not far behind Steve Bellisari and not far in front of fellow sophomore Craig Krenzel, meaning all eyes will again be focused on quarterback in the fall … has a strong arm, good poise in the pocket and doesn’t rattle easily … earned a reputation in practice last year for being able to “make plays” … likes to stay in the pocket, but is a good athlete who can scramble out of trouble if need be … showed a consistency in the spring he had been lacking … has always been a winner and is a very confident player … threw his first touchdown pass last year in the season opener against Fresno State, hooking up with Ricky Bryant on a beautifully thrown 44-yard scoring strike.

2000 Season: Played in three games for a total of nine minutes … longest stint was five minutes at Iowa … third on the depth chart, occasionally creeping up to No. 2 spot in a seesaw battle that is ongoing.

2000 Media Guide: The statements the Ohio State coaching staff make about local product Scott McMullen are the kind that make people turn their heads and listen. “Scott is a kid that has made more strides from last fall than any other player on the offensive side of the ball,” Tim Salem, quarterbacks coach, said. “He finished spring practice on a very good note. He has great poise in the pocket and a strong enough arm that he can reach all parts of the field. We’ve been really pleased with his progress late in the year.” McMullen is in a heated battle with fellow redshirt freshman Craig Krenzel for the No. 2 spot at quarterback. McMullen has gotten visibly stronger since arriving on campus and is noted by the coaching staff for picking up the offense quickly.

1999: Redshirted.

High School: A Top 20 prospect in Ohio by The Ohio Football Recruiting News … threw for 6,100 yards during his career at Granville High with 58 touchdown passes … completed 62 percent of his attempts (118-of-191) as a senior in 1998 while throwing for 2,577 yards (second in the state) and 24 touchdowns with only five interceptions … selected first-team Division IV all-Ohio by the Associated Press as a senior … limited by a back injury as a junior, he still threw for 1,442 yards and 14 touchdowns … passed for 2,081 yards and 20 touchdowns as a sophomore … believed to be first ever OSU football recruit from Granville.

Personal: The son of Judy and Ron McMullen … an avid golfer … lists Deion Sanders as the athlete he most admires.
