A speedy EDGE rusher who plays as hard as anyone on the field, Mitchell is an aggressive defender who knows how to deliver a sound hit on the ball-carrier. He’s quick off the snap and consistently finds his way into the backfield. He can beat opposing linemen with a spin move or use his strength to fight off blocks and attack the quarterback. He brings decent size at 6-foot-2 220-pounds and made 30 tackles, eight TFLs and two sacks last fall. He’s now earned new offers from Delaware and South Florida with more likely on the way. He’s ranked as the No. 69 overall prospect in Georgia according to the 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.

is a tall, long, lanky EDGE prospect who is solid against the run at this stage. He does an outstanding job pinpointing the football and directing his way through contact. He plays at a lighter weight but uses his length to keep his chest clean and he works hard against contact. Mitchell does a great job of getting into the right position by either shuffling or spinning into a new running lane. Mitchell looks best against the run, but he has the bend and length profile to catch the edge and chase the QB. Mitchell holds his listed 220 well and can easily carry more weight.
