NJ Man’s Mullet Ranks In National Championship: See ‘Luscious’ Locks

PENNS GROVE, NJ - A South Jersey man is touting his prizewinning locks after making it to the final round of a national mullet contest.

Eric Kormann, 41, of Penns Grove, was ranked as a top 25 finalist the USA Mullet Championship Mane Event earlier this month.

Kormann says he's been growing out his locks for three years in what began as a stunt to annoy his wife. He's since dubbed the nationally ranked mullet “Lucious,” according to Kormann’s video profile from the contest.

Kormann isn’t the only one to tout his mane, either: during the final day of voting, nearly 550 ballots were cast during public voting in favor of the New Jerseyan.

Over 500 mullet-wielding contestants competed for the top spot this year, which was ultimately awarded on Oct. 20 to Scott Salvadore of Stillwater, New York, with his mullet “The Lord’s Drapes.” His ‘do earned him 3,740 votes.

The competition, which has been ranking mullets since 2020, also hosts kids’ and teens’ mullet competitions.

Half of each entry fee for the competition was donated to Stop Soldier Suicide. In 2022, $2,375 was rained on behalf of the USA Mullet Championships contestants.
