In two seasons with the Longhorns, Mitchell totaled seven tackles over eight games. He redshirted in 2023 and played four games in 2024 as a freshman.
Mitchell announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on December 11, but he never officially entered. After consideration, he made that official on the 16th.
As a prospect, the big New Jersey native was ranked a four-star by On3, ESPN and Rivals. ESPN called him the No. 6 defensive lineman in the class.
