TE Davon Mitchell provides a taste in limited action vs. Guyer
Class of 2025 four-star tight end Davon Mitchell had only one reception the game against Guyer and after some more in-person observations from pre-game warmups, there’s a ton of intrigue when it comes to this sophomore. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Mitchell was easily making one-handed grabs along the sideline during pre-game activities. He is not only a physically imposing presence with or without the pads on, but provides a massive target for his quarterback. Mitchell has natural hands and demonstrated high-end hand-eye coordination with his second-half reception, reeling in a ball in traffic over the middle of the field that turned into a 30-yard play that pinned Allen inside the 10-yard line. Even in limited action, Mitchell teased with his upside. He’s a physically gifted pass-catcher that’s used primarily to overpower defenders as a blocker. There’s no doubting that he also possesses the traits to be an outstanding TE1 in the same mold as Arik Gilbert or Thomas Fidone.
