Texas is expected to be in the mix to land Georgia transfer receiver AD Mitchell.
Mitchell is reportedly expected to enter the transfer portal after spending 2 seasons with the Bulldogs. A former 4-star recruit, Mitchell missed most of the 2022 season with an ankle injury but caught a touchdown pass in the National Championship Game.
The Athletic’s Max Olson noted on Wednesday that there is a lot of “buzz” surrounding Mitchell and the Longhorns.
Mitchell departs Georgia with 38 catches for 588 yards and 7 touchdowns in his career. He played in only 6 games this past season due to an ankle injury.
Despite a relative lack of production, Mitchell became known as a clutch player during his time at Georgia. He caught 1 touchdown pass in all 4 of UGA’s College Football Playoff games over the past 2 seasons.
Mitchell is originally from Missouri City, Texas. He was a 4-star prospect from Cane Ridge High School in the class of 2021. He will have 2 years of eligibility remaining.
Texas has selective in the transfer portal so far this cycle. The Longhorns have commitments from 3 transfers so far. If Mitchell commits, he would become the first transfer receiver to join Texas’ 2023 class.

Ole moneybags tampering with the champ's roster ain't going to bring them a trophy. Good luck to Mitchell but as always: HORNS DOWN!!!!
So the rumors were true.
Horns down.
Probably tampering but may want to closer to home. Injury prone anyway.WTH.
It's been said that he has a young child who lives with his family in Texas, where he is from, and he wants to be closer to his child. Thus, Texas makes sense here.
Looks like Sark is tampering.
Mitchell... FTMF. Had a chance to leave Georgia a LEGEND and get paid in Athens, instead he shopped around for the most money from the biggest bunch of losers in CFB.
Take the money and run, b--ch. You coulda been a DGD, now you'll never be.
Keep those comments classy boy!
Mitchell is most definitely a DGD. He was instrumental in all 4 of the playoff games he played in. You're just butthurt because he's leaving. While it bothers me that this was obvious tampering, let that boy make his life-changing money and move on
Corch. Come get your buddy willybob. He's acting out.
He’s DGD anyway.
