"My favorites are LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Nebraska," he said. "They're all about equal right now. I'll find out more about them when I make my visits, but I like those schools a lot. They're all looking good."
The Cornhuskers have yet to make an official offer, but Mitchell says he's received indications that they will. He plans to watch Nebraska in person when he makes an unofficial visit to Southern Miss on Sept. 25.
