"Coach (Ra'Shaad) Samples (Oregon Ducks running back coach) is the coach who offered me, and he just left a message to tell me to come down and visit, so I can get a better feel for what Oregon has to offer," Mitchell told Oregon Ducks on SI.

Mitchell talked through the details of what catches his attention, as he would have the same answer as a large majority of the prospects who receive an offer from the Ducks and their staff members.

"When I think of the Ducks, I always think of their jerseys because they have some of the best-looking jerseys I have ever seen," Mitchell said.

Visiting a program can be the make-or-break for a decision when it comes to the recruiting world. Luckily for Oregon, Mitchell has confirmed he plans on visiting the Ducks program and learning more about what they have to offer compared to the other programs he plans on visiting down the line.

"I do plan on visiting Oregon eventually because I’m big on vibes and culture, so I would love to see how it is out there and if it fits me as a player," said Mitchell.

The talented prospect would leave off with a strong statement regarding his recruitment and his decision. He detailed how this offer is bigger, but in the end, the decision is much deeper than the name of a college program.

"I believe the Ducks offering me might make some teams believe they can’t get me, but I'll never know, and I still need time to consider my teams because I'm not one to pick teams on just your name," Mitchell said.
