That's probably a recruiting violation since we're talking Ohio State...

Secondary violation, like giving kids butter and jelly with their biscuits...


The NCAA is awesome!

The incredible story of Ohio State recruit Mike Mitchell and his unusual path to football stardom

Written by Aaron Torres on Tuesday, 05 February 2013 15:29.



It’s hard to imagine that in the football-crazed world we live in- where college football recruiting is tracked on the internet 365 days a year and followed by millions annually- that any player could fly under the radar, or struggle to get the attention of his peers and recruiting experts alike. Especially when that player is in every recruiting service’s consensus Top 30 nationally.

Then again, there is nothing normal about Ohio State football commit and U.S. Army All-American Mike Mitchell. Not in the family he came from, or his path to being labeled as one of the top outside linebackers in the high school class of 2013.

First to his family, and to the reality that whoever created the phrase “everything is bigger in Texas,” must’ve been neighbors with the Mitchell family of Plano, TX. Mike is one of nine children, where he is sandwiched in-between two older brothers, three older sisters and three younger brothers as well.

What makes Mitchell even more unique is that even as he gets set to sign with one of the top college football programs in the country, it’s up for debate whether he’s even the best athlete in his own home (unless you ask Mike of course). For that matter, it’s also up for debate whether Mike is even the best football player living under the Mitchell roof.

Linebacker Mike Mitchell (6-4 225)
Elite athleticism and speed at middle linebacker are rare. In fact, in many instances, the slowest and least athletic linebacker is put in the middle. If Mitchell does end up in the middle, people are going to have to focus on other stereotypes, because slow and plodding just won't fit him. Some fans are hoping that he will step right in and start, and while some coaches may be hoping that as well, I doubt any of them are expecting it. The signing of Mitchell is a huge deal, and he is one of the jewels of this class, but people have to be careful not to put too many expectations on him before he even gets to campus.
