Following a career-threatening knee injury, John Mitchell made his return to the FAU football program and, so far this season, has created records of his own.

The now-recovered graduate tight end has been the first in the 2021 season to record two touchdown receptions in one game, hauling four passes for a total of 60 yards in the Owls’ dominating 39-6 win against Georgia Southern.

Just about a year ago, Mitchell was sitting back finding ways to tend to his injury while his teammates worked towards making a successful season.
