HOG FUTURES TEVIN MITCHEL:

His father’s son

But this Mitchel took the Arkansas route

Tevin Mitchel, son of former Oklahoma and Pine Bluff High School quarterback Eric Mitchel, only began playing football when he moved to Mansfield, Texas, to live with his father during high school. He was recruited to Arkansas as one of the country’s top cornerbacks.

Great to have him. I hope he develops into an exciting defensive player. Glad he chose to come home.
