Davon Mitchell 5* TE from Los Alamitos, CA Hits the Portal after Reclassifiying

I don’t want people to freak out when I say this but he reminds me a bit of juiced up Standish Dobard. Like if you took Standish and pumped up every one of his attributes a couple of points (with still a ton of room to grow of course)

that dude was a bit tubby though. this kid is fit with growing years of development ahead of him

Can someone give a deeper analysis on what they see?

I see a really large TE who routinely plays on or outside the hash, but don't really note as much suddenness in his breaks or movements as you'd expect from someone in that role. Seems to have very clean hands. Seems to have good contact balance. Looks like a natural over the middle. Didn't really see enough examples of precise routes to judge much of that aspect. They were, after all, sophomore highlights. Ha.

Anyone with more perspective?

The Mope Council is recommending “caution and skepticism” regarding this recruitment.

Please note that this is a break from our common advise of “gloomful dismissal”.

From Gaby:

"Mitchell has not relayed his decision to either program, and it sounds like both programs will get on the phone with the 6-foot-4, 245-pounder tonight. The plan for Mitchell appears to be having some of those final discussions, sleeping on a decision, and coming out with an answer on Saturday morning."

"It feels like a true toss up here on Friday evening, but 247Sports West Coast analyst Greg Biggins did catch up with Mitchell earlier in the day and came away feeling like Miami had a very real chance here. I believe in the possibility of that more so now than any time prior."

"Miami runs NFL style concepts at the tight end position, and that has opened the door to multiple top-rated tight ends choosing to play their college football in Coral Gables. It’s a deep room, but one that is built on true development both at the line of scrimmage and in pro passing concepts. It’s clear that Mitchell and some around him understand that aspect of Miami and it’s helped."

Gaby is growing on me. Well done. He is getting better.
 
Few mins ago, per Gaby

Heard Mario Cristobal gave his final pitch tonight and it went really well. No definite answer either way coming out of it but I’m hopeful that we will have some more clarity in the am. Either way it goes, Coach is who I want at the table with a tight recruitment on the line. Let’s see how the chips fall.

Kid is a technician catching the ball bc his dad Marko Mitchell played in the NFL for the Redskins for a season but after never caught on anywhere.

Fun fact his dad caught the only touchdown for Nevada in the 2006 MPC Computers Bowl against guess who… Miami.

I’ll never forget barelyyyyy beating Nevada that night. Larry Coker’s last game as he had already been fired after barely beating BC to make us bowl eligible. They still let him coach the bowl game if my memory is right.

His dad is the WR coach for Allen high school in Texas. Which is a great connection to have.. if he commits of course.
 
Here is what i hate though. Reporters telling us its election night down to the last vote to swing it. After the commit, kid says they been committed 2 weeks ago and told the staff. Like look at the Lightfoot situation,man been committed, yet supposedly it was a back and forth up to decision day.

I get it but at the same time that's their job as well to try and create hype.

What do you think of a Brandon Pettigrew comparison?

we’re doing this off sophomore highlights, so we’re no doubt wildly speculating, but it’s that ‘style’ or ‘type.’ You remember this guy?



Whenever I think of oversized TEs who have good balance, this is one of the first dudes who I remember. Have no idea if Davon is this kind of athlete. Limited info at the moment.
