Former Mules football offensive lineman Derrick Puni has signed a pro contract with the Dallas Cowboys following the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Puni was a three-time All-American as an offensive lineman at UCM. He was also a First Team All-MIAA pick and a D2CCA All-Region selection.

Puni returned from missing the 2017 season due to injury and started all 11 games of the 2018 season. He helped the Mules become one of the most potent offenses in the MIAA with a league-best 466 yards per game and surrendering the third-fewest sacks (23).

Puni becomes the 54th Mule to sign a professional contract.
