Heard from a buddy that he is switching from WR to RB this spring. If true this could be the type of all-around back the Hawks have been lacking for awhile. Sounds like Mitchell comes in at 6'1" 212lbs. Know a guy who coached an opposing team in high school who stated to me after Mitchell signed that Mitchell was if not the most athletic runner then one of the top athletic runners in the state. Kid is or was fast as well. I hope he can make the transition to RB, having a 6'1 212lb athlete with speed who can run and catch would do wonders for the Iowa O this fall. Would be a nice weapon on 3rd and short downs.
Before all the bashers come calling I am not bashing on any of the other Iowa RB's. Not sure if the switch is because Kirk see's holes at RB this year or if it was Mitchell isnt working out at WR but also have heard that a DB is also making a switch to RB so maybe the coaches dont like what they all have at RB heading into the season.
