UGA Football: Mitchell Among Standouts At Lively G-Day

At the end of a busy first half on Saturday at Sanford Stadium, Georgia wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made a lunging catch for a 24-yard touchdown. Mitchell, the 6-foot-4 freshman, then popped to his feet from the Dooley Field turf and blew the small crowd of fans behind the end zone a kiss.

“He’s a competitor, he makes plays down the field,” head coach Kirby Smart said of Mitchell. “For a guy that just enrolled, that just got here, he did a good job.”

In the annual split-squad exhibition to wrap up spring practice, Mitchell, one of Georgia’s 16 early enrollees, was targeted often by the Red squad’s quarterbacks — and more often than not Mitchell delivered. After a couple of early incompletions when he was well covered, Mitchell wound up with five catches for 80 yards in the half and seven catches for 105 yards in the game.
