Clearwater native playing soccer at Marquette roots for the Rays

MILWAUKEE, WI. (WWSB) - You can find people with ties to Florida’s Suncoast all over the city including a young man from Clearwater who now stars in soccer at Marquette University.Clearwater native Drew Mullins says he has long rooted for the Tampa Bay Rays.“I’ve always been a Rays fan. I wouldn’t say I’m a die-hard fan, but I’ve been to a handful of games,” Mullins said.Mullins is an outside back defender on the men’s soccer team at Marquette University in Milwaukee. He says the bond he felt with the players helped him decide to leave home.“On my visit, it was just all the guys, I knew I couldn’t find a team that was this close anywhere,” Mullins said. “They kind of made it easy for me when I came on my visit.”He misses the warm temperatures and sandy beaches back in Florida, but he says the baseball fans in Wisconsin have made an impression.“Coming here, it seems like the Brewers fans are everywhere. They’re crazy. They’re at every game. The stadium’s awesome too,” Mullins said.Even
