The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to speedy class of 2028 wide receiver recruit Dillon Mitchell. Mitchell is the fastest freshman in the country.
Mitchell is well known as a track athlete. The 5-foot-8, 155-pound athlete ran a 10.35 second time in the 100-meters, which is a national freshman record. College football teams love speed and couldn’t resist envisioning Mitchell’s potential to become an explosive playmaker at the next level.
Following Mitchell’s record setting track performance, he has received over a dozen scholarship offers. The speedster plays high school football for C.E. King High School in Houston, Texas. Some of his recent scholarship offers (since his record-setting track performance) include the Florida Gators, Texas A&M Aggies and Ole Miss Rebels.
The C.E. King star runs a 4.37 40-yard dash. Mitchell also plays cornerback and is an outstanding punt and kick returner. Mitchell posted 26 total touchdowns as a freshman in high school (13 rushing, seven receiving and six returning). He’ll be an interesting prospect to watch over the years because he could elite to run track in college as well as play football.
Dillon Mitchell is currently an unranked recruit due to his young age. His home run speed is similar to that of former Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith, who recently entered the 2025 NFL draft. Smith ran track and played wide receiver at Georgia before he eventually ended up focusing on football.
