Expert Analysis
Vic Castillo | Prep Redzone Scout
Your prototypical pass-rusher off the edge, a kid who exemplifies speed and athleticism off the snap. That being said, the majority of his wins are actually against the run, at least early in his tape. Linebacker capable, DE/EDGE hand in the dirt capable. Ankle bend and balance stand out. Burst off the snap stands out. The way his body develops moving forward will inevitably decide his future production at Union, as well as his future projection to the next level. If he puts on the right pounds, he stays at 210, a move to OLB would probably be in his future. If he puts on the right weight, he could utilize his skill set and turn into a real pass-rusher who won’t be thwarted by collegiate-level tackles. A Jamel Mitchell Jamel Mitchell 6'3" | 210 lbs | DL Union | 2025 State PA weighing 225 is a frightening thought.

Had the opportunity to see this young man at the PIAA State Championships. His size stood out immediately, he fits more of the prototypical pass-rusher mold than some on this list. 6’2, 200-pounds off the edge, Jamel Mitchell Jamel Mitchell 6'3" | 210 lbs | DL Union | 2025 State PA gets active when rushing the quarterback off the edge. Active hands with a ton of lower body strength make him a tough opponent for tackles with bad feet. Those same active hands come up to deflect passes, the ball finds him in the form of turnovers too. Quick off the snap and in the gap before you know it. Power in his legs is where Mitchell wins, yet he can blend quickness if he has to. He’s an underrated and often overlooked DE on a program that challenged Steelton-Highspire.
