Iowa football running back Derrick Mitchell Jr, who will graduate in May, is transferring from the University of Iowa and will play his final season of college football elsewhere. Mitchell is a grad transfer, therefore he won’t need to sit out a year before being eligible to play.
Mitchell originally was a wide receiver before Iowa moved him to running back. Mitchell did not have a big role during his three seasons at Iowa.
In 2016, he carried the ball just two times for 12 yards and a touchdown. He also had six receptions for 24 yards.
