Two-time New Jersey heavyweight wrestling champion Jimmy Mullen is headed to Virginia Tech. He'll play football there too.

The St. Joseph senior announced his commitment Saturday night on Instagram.

Mullen, who became the first freshman to win a New Jersey heavyweight title back in 2019, is also one of best football players in the state. He was a preseason All-New Jersey selection at defensive end.

"I'm blown away by all the amazing schools and wrestling/football programs that have recruited me, but at the end of the day there was only one logical choice; it just feels right, I will be continuing my academic and athletic career playing football and wrestling for the Hokies at Virginia Tech," he wrote.

New Apple security feature reboots iPhones after 3 days, researchers confirm
Apple’s new iPhone software comes with a novel security feature that reboots the phone if it’s not unlocked for 72 hours, according to security researchers. Last week, 404 Media reported that law enforcement officers and forensic experts were concerned that some iPhones were rebooting themselves under mysterious circumstances, which made it harder for them to get access to the devices and extract data. Citing security researchers, 404 Media later reported that iOS 18 had a new “inactivity reboot” feature that forced the devices to restart.
