Patrick Michael Mullins (born February 5, 1992) is an American soccer player who currently plays as a striker for D.C. United in Major League Soccer.
Mullins was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He and his family lost their home after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, forcing them to take refuge in Brookhaven, Mississippi and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He played club soccer for Chicago Fire Juniors from 2007 to 2009, winning the state title in each of the three years and was rated the no. 31 recruit in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer. Mullins graduated from Jesuit High School in New Orleans.
On March 2, 2010, it was announced that Mullins had signed a letter of intent to play college soccer at the University of Maryland along with four others. In his freshman year with the Terrapins, Mullins made 21 appearances for the club. On September 14, he scored his first collegiate goal in a 3–0 victory over Loyola University Maryland. A month later, he netted the game-winner in the Terps 1–0 upset victory over no. 2-ranked UConn. He also scored in his NCAA tournament debut on November 21 against the University of Pennsylvania. Mullins finished the year with five goals and four assists and was named ACC Freshman of the Year. He was also named to Top Drawer Soccer's All-Rookie Second Team.
In 2011, Mullins made a switch from midfielder to striker and excelled. He made 21 appearances and tallied six goals and three assists, including one on November 27 against Louisville in the third round of the NCAA Tour. Maryland lost the match, 4–2. He was named Second-Team All-ACC. In 2012, Mullins became one of the leaders for the Terps as he appeared in all 24 games for the club, starting in 23 of them. On October 19, he assisted on an overtime game-winner by Schillo Tshuma that gave the no. 1-ranked Terps a 1–0 victory over no. 2-ranked North Carolina. A week later, he scored in Maryland's 2–2 draw with Clemson which was good enough to win the ACC regular-season title. On November 8, Mullins earned a pair of ACC honors as he was named ACC Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-ACC. Three days later, Mullins was named ACC tournament MVP after the Terps defeated North Carolina 2–1 to win the ACC tournament title. Mullins finished the year with 17 goals and 10 assists.
