Elyjah Mitchell is Norfolk State’s early-season red-zone spark
Mitchell has already flashed as a compact, productive target for Norfolk State in the 2026 season, with 11 catches for 102 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus a strong red-zone knack that shows up in a 16-yard long grab and steady volume[2][10]. He looks like a reliable chain-mover with touchdown upside rather than a pure track-speed burner, and his 2024 stat line (23 catches, 268 yards, 2 TDs) suggests real year-to-year usefulness, not a one-week tease[8][9]. If a team wants a WR who competes, finishes plays, and can work underneath with some scoring punch, Mitchell is worth a hard look[1][2][10].
