The next time Jaden Mitchell plays in a football game, it will likely be in college.
Mitchell, a 3-star ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ commit from Las Vegas, injured his left knee on Friday during the first game of his senior season at Desert Pines High School and will miss the rest of the season.Â
The 6-foot receiver told the Star that he tore his ACL and meniscus when he "made a cut on put return during the game and my foot (got) stuck in the turf and my knee popped."
Mitchell indicated that since the injury happened early in the season, he should be fine once he moves to ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. The UA coaches — safeties coach Jahmile Addae is ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s main recruiter in Las Vegas, ²¹²Ô»åÌýTheron Aych coaches receivers — assured Mitchell that he's still a part of their plans.Â
"I have this whole season and off season for rehab so I'll be good," Mitchell said.Â
