High-motor Kansas State safety with special-teams value and rising upside
Mitchell is a **redshirt freshman safety** for Kansas State who already earned trust on special teams in 2025 and retained his redshirt by appearing in limited game action, which hints at a developmental role rather than a finished product.[5] His calling card is effort and physicality: at Brophy Prep he produced **191 tackles**, **13 tackles for loss**, **4 sacks**, **2 interceptions**, and **4 forced fumbles**, while recruiting outlets viewed him as a **three-star safety** and among Arizona’s better prospects.[5][11][13] For a team, he looks like a tough, rangy depth piece with upside if he keeps adding size and polish.[5][8]
