Six schools that make sense for Georgia WR transfer AD Mitchell

These six schools would be a great fit for AD Mitchell.

The latest big name to enter the crowded NCAA transfer portal is Georgia wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

Mitchell is looking for a new home after helping guide UGA to back-to-back national championships. “AD” came up with two of the best catches in Georgia football history, hauling in the game-winning touchdowns against Alabama in the 2022 national title and Ohio State in the Peach Bowl.

Injuries kept Mitchell sidelined for the majority of the 2022 campaign, but many expected him to be Georgia’s top target coming into the year. Mitchell returned in the SEC championship game and looked like an elite pass catcher in the postseason.

Mitchell is a former four-star prospect from the class of 2021. He is a Texas native who moved to Tennessee to finish his high school career. Mitchell has three seasons of eligibility remaining at the college level.

Here is a look at six schools that would make sense for AD Mitchell to transfer to.

Former Georgia great speaks about Texas transfer target AD Mitchell

AD Mitchell is a difference maker.

Georgia wide receiver and former Texas high school product AD Mitchell is now in the transfer portal. The Texas Longhorns are said to be the favorite to land the big-time target.

Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray discussed the difference Mitchell can make for his team.

Georgia lost its top WR last offseason, won a Natty. … Still hoping AD doesn’t leave, when he is on the field good things happen.

The first sentence is telling and likely explains why Mitchell could want out of Athens.

While the talented receiver may always be wanted at Georgia, he may never be needed. At least, he might not be needed in a way that would command targets or allow for elite production regardless of being the top wide receiver or not.

Enter Texas who could use players of Mitchell’s caliber on the outside. Bijan Robinson’s departure makes pass catchers of the utmost importance.

Steve Sarkisian will likely often pass between 30 and 50 times in games with Xavier Worthy and Ja’Tavion Sanders commanding the defense’s attention. The fit in Austin for Mitchell could be the most ideal.
