247Sports recruiting analyst Brian Dohn sees Mitchell as a future Power Five school starter, writing this assessment:
"Ideal size and length for defensive tackle. Works hands well and understands leverage. Possesses natural strength. Traits exist to be a run stopper in middle. Plays with low center of gravity. Strong and has natural power. Gets off well at line of scrimmage. Shows an ability to stack and shed. Manipulates torso to through gaps. Will benefit greatly as he matures and adds lower body strength. Saw varsity action at high-level North Jersey program."
Texas is in great position to compete for the No. 1 class in the nation for the 2023 cycle.
