Tony Mitchell has been a hot name in college football recruiting circles since he was an 8th grader. After many years of having contact with some of the top programs in the nation, the star defensive back out of Thompson High School (Alabaster, AL) is entering the final offseason before finding his college home.
Mitchell has been a starter at Thompson since arriving on campus as a Freshman, and has helped the Warriors to three consecutive 7A State Championships in Alabama’s highest classification. His tape is impressive and he lines up all over the secondary. On one snap he may line up as a DB over the slot receiver, on the next he might be the boundary corner, and on another he can be found as a Safety in a Cover 2 look.
