Kolton Mitchell has become Idaho’s steady backcourt engine
In the 2025-26 season, Kolton Mitchell emerged as Idaho’s lead guard and most reliable offensive hub, averaging 13.7 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 33 games while starting 32[2][4][5]. He brings a balanced, win-now profile: shot creation, pick-and-roll feel, and enough defensive activity to impact both ends, plus the hometown toughness that made him a quick fit with the Vandals[3][11]. The catch is efficiency has been modest, so teams should want his pace, leadership, and competitiveness more than pure scoring polish[4][10].
