Mike Mitchell cuts choices down to three

Prestonwood Christian Academy senior linebacker Mike Mitchell has seen his recruiting profile spike over the past year.
The 6-foot-4, 216-pound four-star linebacker is ranked as one of the top 50 recruits in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com and for good reason as he was a first team all-district selection last season for Plano West after recording 151 tackles, 32 tackles for loss and 11 sacks for the Wolves.
After 3,000 letters and 51 scholarship offers, Mitchell has cut his list down to Florida State, Ohio State and Texas A&M.
A choice may still be a couple months away though.
"I know Mike is anxious to get the process over with and make a commitment because all he really wants to do is play football," said Ken Mitchell, Mike's father. "But he has been busy this summer with all the camps and hasn't had the chance to really visit anywhere, so he is going to make these visits in the fall and make a tough choice because these are some really good schools with really good coaching staffs."
