How Stephen F. Austin's coaching staff earned Bruce Mitchell's commitment

Stephen F. Austin defensive back coach Mitch White called Bruce Mitchell eight times the day before the Lumberjacks’ summer camp to make sure Mitchell would be there to compete.

SFA’s pursuit of the Frisco Lone Star defensive back was in full motion, and Mitchell recognized they were turning up the intensity. The Lumberjacks recruiting process up to that point had been slower than the other schools recruiting Mitchell. They weren’t offering guys unless they were really impressed with them. As of today, SFA has only offered 11 players in the 2023 cycle.
