Former Oregon State quarterback Nick Mitchell announced on Twitter and Instagram Wednesday night that he will transfer to Dixie State, a Division II school in Utah.
Mitchell, who left OSU's program just after the 2015 season, started five games in 2015 in place of an injured Seth Collins. But he completed just 45.1 percent of his passes for 571 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions and was replaced mid-game against Washington after starting 0-for-7 and losing a fumble in the Beavers' second-to-last contest.
Because Dixie State is below the Football Bowl Subdivision level, Mitchell, a rising sophomore, will be eligible to play immediately in 2016.
