Not sure about Mitchell's weight, but also hear that Ngalo, Rhone & Mitchell all look like good future players at LB with a lot of speed.
well, there was a story in the DMN this morning mentioning him as a potential starter this year. I don't see how that's possible at 237...

Three freshmen competing for starting jobs on SMU’s offensive line
Local products Evan Brown, Tony Richards and Chad Pursley have established themselves as contenders for starting jobs on the offensive line.
Brown, 6-3, 305, hails from Southlake Carroll; Richards, 6-5, 237, is from Highland Park; and Pursley, 6-4, 280, from Mansfield Legacy. Brown has worked with the starting group the past two days in practice.
“He’s the real deal, so he’ll get a chance to play,†coach June Jones said of Brown. “He’s real strong and he’s very smart. Pursley and Tony Richards look like they paid attention last week and know what to do. I’ve been impressed with them.â€
His father was a beast.
Good chance Brown starts at some point this season as true freshman. Richards could very well turn out to be one of those 'sleepers' a couple years down the line after adding a bunch of weight, but no way he can play at this level at 240. Pursley listed at 6'5", 260 on latest roster, don't think he's 280 yet. Still pretty good gains for him as he was also 235 or so when we recruited him.
