Following an offseason that featured the junior linebacker’s entrance into and withdrawal from the NCAA transfer portal and the public claim that he didn’t feel comfortable representing the university, Mitchell has still been working hard on his craft behind the scenes.
A late addition to the 2019 recruiting class from Butler Community College in Kansas who was a one-time Syracuse signee, Mitchell didn’t have much time to work with Texas strength and conditioning coach Yancy McKnight before starting his sophomore season on the Forty Acres.
