Adonai Mitchell recalls strong performance in the National Championship game: ‘It was like a dream come true’

Adonai Mitchell didn’t see himself catching a touchdown in the National Championship game his freshman year.

And it wasn’t just any touchdown. It also gave Georgia the lead. In the fourth quarter. Over No. 1 Alabama. Pressure? Forget about it.

“It was like a dream come true,” Mitchell said, via Rivals UGASports.com. “Growing up, every kid that plays football dreams of being on a stage like that. It was just crazy. I can’t even explain it to this day.”

But when push comes to shove, and even though Georgia fans may think of him as one, Mitchell doesn’t seem himself as a superhero. He just did as he was asked.

“Everyone was just doing what they could to try to come out with the W,” Mitchell said. “I was, like I said, playing my role. My number ended up being called. It was a great ball by Stetson, and I was fortunate enough to make the catch.”
