Published:
AD Mitchell has officially declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Mitchell shared a heartfelt letter via The Player’s Tribune announcing his intentions to turn pro. The letter, while it thanks Georgia and Texas for the experiences he had in college, was written to his daughter, Icylinn.
Here’s an excerpt from his Player’s Tribune letter:
I’m grateful to Coach Sark and all of the University of Texas community for making me feel like a Longhorn for life in such a short time. And you aren’t quite done with me yet, ’cause I’m coming back to get that degree.
And to all the Bulldog fans, my amazing coaches, my brothers on the field, the legendary 2021 class — we did that. We made history together. I love all of y’all.
This is a time in my life I’m always going to treasure. Honestly, thinking about all the places I’ve been and things I’ve gotten to do is almost overwhelming. I’m just so grateful for it all.
And now, I’m most excited about what’s next — for both of us.
Love,
Dad
Mitchell also wrote about some of his reasons for transferring from Georgia to Texas last offseason.
Georgia and Texas — thank y’all for everything.
For Icylinn, I’m most excited about what’s next — for both of us.
