The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Southwest DeKalb receiver Jacoby Mitchell has verbally committed to a football scholarship with Western Carolina, he confirmed via text message Sunday.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder, who had 19 receptions for 433 yards and six TDs in 13 games for run-oriented Southwest DeKalb, is projected to play the slot receiver in Western Carolina’s spread offense. He was leaning heavily toward Western since taking an official visit to the Cullowhee, N.C., school last month.
Mitchell also had offers from Furman, Georgia Southern, Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green, Alabama-Birmingham, Middle Tennessee and Akron.
