Background

Early life

Mitchell was born on October 8, 2002, in Missouri City, Texas. He attended Cane Ridge High School in Antioch, Tennessee, a neighborhood of Nashville. During his high school career, he had 53 receptions for 795 yards, 8 receiving touchdowns, 373 rushing yards, and 9 rushing touchdowns on 68 attempts.

Mitchell was named the 2019 Tennessean Region 5-6A Athlete of the Year following a season which saw him record 28 receptions for 417 yards and 5 touchdowns in addition to 203 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 45 carries, leading his team to a 9–4 overall record and a 6-0 league record. Before the start of the 2020 high school season, he was named to the MaxPreps Preseason Tennessee All-State Second Team Offense.

Prior to his time at Cane Ridge High School, Mitchell attended Ridge Point High School in Missouri City, Texas, where he had 25 receptions totaling 378 yards and 3 touchdowns in addition to 170 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on 23 carries. Following the season, he was named to the UIL Class 6A District 20 All-District Second Team Offense.

Georgia

Mitchell, a three-star recruit, enrolled at the University of Georgia in January 2021 after flipping his commitment from Ole Miss from July 2020. This came following his recruitment by top-ranked football programs such as Auburn, Missouri, West Virginia, and Boston College, among others. In the Georgia Bulldogs' spring game in April 2021, he caught 7 of his 13 targets for 105 yards and 1 touchdown. During week three of the 2021 Georgia Bulldogs season, Mitchell was named SEC Freshman of the Week following a performance that saw him record four receptions for 77 yards and one touchdown vs South Carolina.

He was a key part of the 2022 College Football National Championship victory at the end of the 2021 season, catching the go-ahead 40-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett with 8 minutes remaining. During the celebration of the victory, Mitchell was interviewed by CBS Atlanta affiliate, WGCL, where he recounted the catch, "It was amazing to answer that call when it came, be that answer that the team to come through." Mitchell finished the season as the Bulldogs' third-ranked receiver, totaling 29 receptions for 426 yards and four touchdowns.

Mitchell's sophomore 2022 season was hampered by injury — specifically an ankle hurt during the Bulldogs' week 2 game against Samford. The injury lingered throughout the season and he only saw action in 6 games, catching just 9 balls for 134 yards and 3 touchdowns — numbers that would be, by far, the worst of his college career. He missed six games with the injury before making it back for the SEC title game against LSU. In that game, he slipped and fell on a potential touchdown route late in the first quarter, but later managed to make his mark in the box score when he rolled out to his right on a trick two-point conversion pass, zipping a spiral to teammate Darnell Washington for the score.
