Mitchell, a 6-4, 200-pounder was a two-sport star at R.J. Reynolds, which has won the last two NCHSAA state 4-A basketball championships. A starter on both of those teams, he averaged 13.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season for the Demons and was the Most Valuable Player in the state 4-A championship game with a 22-point performance in the victory over Raleigh Leesville Road.

He was selected to play for the North Carolina all-stars in the Shrine Bowl football game. Mitchell grabbed 24 passes for 594 yards as a senior, averaging 22.9 yards per reception, and caught eight scoring passes on a team that primarily ran the veer option. He rushed 15 times for 174 yards and also returned 15 kicks for 500 yards and a pair of scores. The Reynolds senior has signed a football grant-in-aid with the University of North Carolina.
