Dereion Mitchell
About Dereion
Expert Analysis
Marcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Mitchell has a long, lean frame, with a large catch radius and he has large hands that engulf the football. He is shifty in space, he is a sharp route runner and his ability to get open often was on full display in a recent 7v7 tournament in Dallas. Dereion is a big body target, who knows how to use his big frame in tight coverage, by walling off defenders to make grabs in heavy traffic. He was able to make several big red zone grabs, using his length to rise up over the coverage to win on contested catches. Mitchell is a multisport standout, who is an explosive playmaker on the basketball court and he uses that same athleticism to play above the rim on the gridiron. He is a prospect who is flying under the radar and college programs should get eyes on this offseason.
