Mustapha saw the most playing time during his freshman season in 2018, appearing in four games for the Badgers. He caught a 3-yard touchdown pass in Wisconsin’s 45-14 win over New Mexico in the second game of the 2018 campaign. It’s the only reception of his career.
In total, Mustapha has played in eight games, including three during the 2020 season. He has not recorded any statistics over the past two seasons.
At his next destination, Mustapha will have three years of eligibility remaining.
