Statesman (Excerpt on LB Mike Mitchell)
One of the fastest-rising prospects in the 2013 class Plano Prestonwood's Mike Mitchell, a 6-4, 222-pound linebacker who's drawn offers and/or interest from schools like Ohio State, Oklahoma, Florida, Notre Dame, USC and Oregon.
And Texas Longhorns receivers coach Darrell Wyatt recently visited Mitchell. Texas has not yet offered him a scholarship, but Mitchell said he hopes they continue to pursue him.
"The Longhorns are definitely a team I like," Mitchell said. "Texas is the school in our state. They're the big, key school. Everyone wants to play for Texas."
Besides Texas, Mitchell said he also likes TCU, Baylor and Texas A&M as well as Oregon, Ohio State, Vanderbilt and Mississippi.
Free Rivals - Raekwon McMillan to make his own name at Challenge

"I don't want to be the best linebacker in my class," he said. "I want to be the best linebacker in the country right now." The accolades are important to the Hinesville (Ga.) Liberty County inside linebacker and he feels that his chance to take on the best players in the nation from June 22-24 at Atlanta's Lakewood Stadium will be a chance to take the next step in the process. A step, he says, that involves getting out of the shadow of the current No. 2 player in the nation, Alabama-bound Reuben Foster. "I am tired of being in his shadow," McMillan said. "When people write about me they compare me to him. Just because I am younger doesn't mean I can't compete with him and it doesn't mean I can't be better already. "He is a beast and an awesome player but I am not the guy in the background, I am not the next Rueben Foster. I want to make sure that is known." Continued... |
Mike Farrell's take:
McMillan is a ball of fury on film and is so good at reading angles, shooting the gap, and running down plays to the outside that he will cover a lot of ground at the event. He also has a chip on his shoulder and is tired of being compared to Reuben Foster so by playing on the same team in the same linebacker group, he can try to separate himself from the nation's No. 2 player and show his own strengths. He is arguably a top 10 player in the class of 2014 and this could be his way of cementing five star status of his own down the line when we rank the 2014 class. I really like the speed and quickness he shows as such a huge linebacker for his age.
Recruiting Notes: Quick Sam Mustipher Update
Two-way linemen Sam Mustipher, from one of the most prestigious high school program in the country, Good Counsel (MD), is yet another 2014 player the Buckeye have set their sights on. Sam is standing out as the 2014 star player at Good Counsel, and gets to go up against star teammates Dorian O'Daniel and Kendall Fuller everyday this year, while getting to practice 2012 stars Stefon Diggs and Wes Brown last year.
- Sam has been working to get better this off-season: "I've been getting better daily in the weight room and in position specific drills."
- He has recently picked up offers from Hawaii and Rutgers. He also recently to Michigan and Mattison.
- Would like to visit Virginia, Penn State, West Virginia, Ohio State, Michigan, South Carolina, and Clemson this summer.
- On Ohio State: "They're telling me I could end up playing offense, or defense."
- Want to make it to 4-5 camps, but isn't sure which he'll be attending at this point.
- No leaders: "I am weighing every option, it's early."
- No favorite team growing up: "I honestly just love the game."
I dig McMillans 'tude. Hopefully if we get him he keeps carrying around that gigantic chip on his shoulder.
"I'm One Bad Buckeye, and I approve this message."
Mitchell is a wild card... might come in and be the lone LBer... I'm think OSU doesn't offer any more LBers til after camp, and only if they are blown away
Cause I couldn't go for three
You know, with Klein and Sabino set to graduate after this year, and possible transfers, it might not hurt for us to pick up a linebacker or so this year. We will have at most 8 on scholarship in 2013, and I would guess somebody transfers or (knock on wood) gets hurt, we may need a little more depth.
