The gem in this catch is Denzell Mitchell. A three-star prospect, according to 247Sports, Mitchell was at one point an Ole Miss commit (Mitchell is considered a four-star prospect on Scout.) Mitchell was the 12th best prospect at RB in the state, and top 500 (440th) nationally in the class of 2016.
