Following the news of George Pickens tearing his ACL this offseason, many Georgia fans had some serious worries surrounding the wide receiver position. Enter Adonai Mitchell.
Mitchell, the 6-foot-4, 190 pound Tennessee native, had a statement of a first half in UGA’s G-Day spring game. At the half, Mitchell finished with 80 yards and a last second touchdown from JT Daniels to put up Team Red 14-10.

Here’s how the Twitter world reacted to the Daniels to Mitchell touchdown connection.
Really happy that Cortez Hankton and Todd Monken went out & stole Adonai Mitchell from Ole Miss. He was “only” a 3-star but Georgia coaches obviously saw something in him & went after him.

Adonai Mitchell has made clear today that Georgia has another impressive WR on the roster.

Outsiders: “Georgia doesn’t have a good WR because George Pickens and Jermaine Burton is out”
