Nice get... #1 JUCO ILB...

Makes the ILB position a bit deeper, but not at the cost of grabbing a body to just be a body

Given that he's technically a 2019, he should have been classified with Caleb Johnson and Lakia Henry.

EDIT: Looks like the reclassification has scrambled their rankings - his 3-star ranking went away. Probably the #BOMC at work tbh.

Somebody explain why he is 2019 and not 2020. (I haven’t been following this one very close). If he is 2019, why wasn’t he part of the recruiting madness back in Feb? I’ll hang up and listen.

To be fair, the rankings services don’t seriously rank JUCO guys until shorty before they sign, so if he’s enrolling earlier than expected, none of the services have probably given him a very serious eval yet.

So which LB position is he most likely competing for.... and what's the current projected depth chart there before he arrives??

Mac. He’ll be competing with Adeoye unless Caleb Johnson or Overshown take over Rover and Shark gets bumped to Mac.

He was a full qualifier out of HS, so he can enroll earlier (after one year) than a non-qualifier because he doesn’t have to get his associate’s degree to be eligible.

@Burt Macklin, Boyd seems to think he's quick, so he really must be slow af

How he fits at Texas: Mitchell is a gifted plugging, inside-backer. He reads his keys and moves very decisively and downhill in the run game, filling windows at the line of scrimmage and arriving with force. In coverage and in space he obviously has some lateral quickness but a lot less tape and probably some learning to do while his blitzes are forceful and effective. In a scheme that can protect him from overexposure in space he fits the bill for a Big 12 ILB with the quick reads and lateral quickness that generally matter more in today’s game than size and power. Reminds me of guys like Tom Wort or Arthur Brown and would fit at Mac for Texas. – IB

Ha. Good ole Ian. Praises his lateral quickness but at the same time calls him a "plugging, inside-backer" and says he'll have to be schemed to avoid "overexposure in space."  He should be solid inside the tackles, but will likely struggle if he takes a false step or is slow to read the play or when he gets isolated in space on a skill player, which will happen at times because Big 12. 

EDIT: Here's what Roach said on Mitchell, pretty much the exact opposite of lateral quickness. 

"Areas for improvement: Mitchell is somewhat limited athletically, and he appears to struggle with changing directions quickly. He runs well when he reaches top speed, but his lateral ability is lacking."
