Replacing Nelson Agholor: Mitchell could be that guy

Steven Mitchell is finally healthy after two injury-plagued seasons at USC.

When Nelson Agholor declared for the NFL Draft in early January, a huge hole was immediately created. Agholor led the Trojans with 102 receptions for 1,313 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014 and was quarterback Cody Kessler's favorite target.

The decision to go pro by Agholor was expected but created the question of who would start alongside JuJu Smith in 2015?

After spring practice, which concluded last Saturday, the answer might be redshirt sophomore Steven Mitchell. Mitchell has had a tremendous spring this year and had seven catches for 90 yards in the Spring Game.
