This bodes extremely well for Florida football, as Mitchell is another phenomenal prospect to look forward to if recruited. Ranked 3rd at the CB position, and 19th nationally regardless of position (according to 247 Composite) he has some great talent on the field that the Gators should want. At 6’2″ 180, Tony has great size at the position and has some great range to his game where he can carry deep into the field. Whether he plays corner, nickel, or safety he should have a spot with the Gators where he can thrive if recruited.
