This Tuesday, AD Mitchell, the wide receiver for the University of Texas, declared his entry into the 2024 NFL Draft. In the recently concluded season, Mitchell had an outstanding performance, recording a career-best 55 receptions for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns. Notably, he contributed with a touchdown in the College Football Playoff Semi-final.
Before the 2023 season, Mitchell made headlines by announcing his decision to transfer to Texas, his home state, to be closer to his daughter Icylinn. Despite this surprising move, Mitchell maintained a positive relationship with Georgia Bulldogs fans, who continued to support him throughout the season.
In a social media post announcing his departure, Mitchell expressed gratitude to both the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs communities, coaches, and players for their unwavering support during his collegiate journey. He also expressed pride in his time at Georgia.
Georgia and Texas — thank y’all for everything.
For Icylinn, I’m most excited about what’s next — for both of us.
