[edit] High school career

Pullig was a Parade All-American at Deer Park High School in Deer Park, Texas. He was highly recruited and came to Texas A&M after being promised a shot at the starting job by then offensive coordinator Bob Toledo and head coach R. C. Slocum.

[edit] College career

Pullig began his true freshman year (1992) behind sophomore Jeff Granger, but took the job when Granger suffered a concussion against SMU. Making his first start at quarterback for the No. 5-ranked Aggies against Louisville, Pullig led the team to victory in front of an ABC television national audience at Kyle Field. The next week Pullig outdueled Houston Cougars' quarterback David Klingler in front of a national television audience on ESPN at the Astrodome. Pullig threw for 272 yards as the Aggies rallied from a 17-10 halftime deficit with 21 unanswered points in the third quarter. His 17 completions in the game ranked No. 3 all-time by a freshman at A&M while his passing yards ranked second. He never relinquished the starting job, setting a school record with 40 consecutive starts.

Pullig finished his career with a 33-6-1 mark as a starter, the most wins for any quarterback in Texas A&M history. He also passed for a school record 6,888 yards (broken by Reggie McNeal in 2005).

[edit] Professional career

Pullig was the starting QB for part of the 1998 season for the AFL's Grand Rapids Rampage, and stayed as a reserve the following season. He played in 2000 for the Buffalo Destroyers. Pullig finished his AFL career with 2038 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, and a 82.13 quarterback rating.

[edit] After football

After retiring from football, Pullig attended the South Texas College of Law. He then joined the U.S. Marine Corps where he currently serves as a Marine Judge Advocate.
