On Monday evening during the coaches show on FOX Sports 640AM, Willie Taggart announced that redshirt senior wide receiver John Mitchell will miss the 2020 season due to a knee injury.
“It is unfortunate, one of our leaders on our football team, John Mitchell, had a knee injury, so he won’t be playing,” Taggart said during his radio show. “We hate that because he has been working really hard.”
In August it was announced that Mitchell was a nominee for the William V. Campbell Trophy, an award given to the collegiate football player with the best combination of academics, community service, and football performance.
