"Ohio State offered on a phone call. Michigan and LSU called and said they were going to be sending a letter. The rest of the offers were in letters.
"My top five is LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, and probably Tennessee. I don't have a favorite. I'll decide sometime this summer."
This summer for Mixon will include a trip to Michigan.
"We go to the Michigan camp as a team," Mixon said.
What will be important in terms of Mixon's college selection?
