Colorado State’s hometown, hard-nosed linebacker with proven tackle production
In the 2025 season, Mitchell flashed real value for Colorado State after returning from an ACL rehab year, finishing with 32 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and his first career sack while handling multiple roles in a thin defense. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Colorado Springs native brings walk-on grit, special-teams toughness, and a motor that coaches trust, plus he’s already shown he can play through adversity and still impact games. He’s not a pure stat monster, but he is a versatile, high-effort fit for a team needing reliability, physicality, and buy-in.
