While the March recruiting event at Auburn has gotten some attention-grabbing names, there are a few big names who are scheduling visits for April as well. One of those names we can now confirm is New Jersey 4-star DL Sydir Mitchell. He just received an offer from Auburn on Feb. 16.

When new DL coach Jimmy Brumbaugh started to offer his DL targets, Mitchell was one of the first to get a call. In just a few weeks after receiving an Auburn offer he has now set a visit to Auburn. That is a good sign for Brumbaugh and Auburn. Mitchell plans to be on campus Apr. 2.

The Mitchell File

Mitchell is a massive DL prospect at 6-foot-5 and 345-pounds. He is from Oradell, NJ (Bergen Catholic). To be such a big body, he is pretty good with his feet and has surprising overall athleticism.

Mitchell has over 20 offers from Power-5 schools. Some of the notable offers include Michigan, Penn State, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia, Texas, Florida State, Tennessee, and Auburn.

Two Clips

You can see here that Mitchell stands up at the point of attack. That is not good. In reality, most high school prospects do this because they can get away with it. Mitchell always can as he is just too powerful for any opponent right now. When he finds the ball carrier, he throws away the OL with ease.

This play is pretty crazy. Before the clip, Mitchell is double teamed up front. He starts to fight it, but realizes the QB is flowing away from him. He trails it and gets a gift. This ball had some heat on it and it was not an easy catch for the big guy. Then he gives a stiff arm to get some extra yards. Impressive play for a 340+ pounder.
