The latest big name to enter the crowded NCAA transfer portal is Georgia wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.
Mitchell is looking for a new home after helping guide UGA to back-to-back national championships. “AD” came up with two of the best catches in Georgia football history, hauling in the game-winning touchdowns against Alabama in the 2022 national title and Ohio State in the Peach Bowl.
Injuries kept Mitchell sidelined for the majority of the 2022 campaign, but many expected him to be Georgia’s top target coming into the year. Mitchell returned in the SEC championship game and looked like an elite pass catcher in the postseason.
Mitchell is a former four-star prospect from the class of 2021. He is a Texas native who moved to Tennessee to finish his high school career. Mitchell has three seasons of eligibility remaining at the college level.
Here is a look at six schools that would make sense for AD Mitchell to transfer to.

Alabama lost some talent at the wide receiver position this offseason. Nick Saban took Jermaine Burton from Georgia a season ago. Mitchell could follow that same path this time around.

Ole Miss is expected to pursue Mitchell in the portal. Lane Kiffin is an offensive guru who boasts lots of success using the portal in recent history.

With rumors swirling Mitchell wants to play in the state of Texas, TCU could find itself in the mix. Sonny Dykes can sell Mitchell on the role of departing star wideout Quentin Johnson.

Tennessee missed out on Mitchell out of high school back in 2021. With the Vol’s offense being one of the best in the nation and his ties to the state, Tennessee would make sense.

Texas is the early favorite to land Mitchell. He fits Steve Sarkisian’s offense perfectly and Texas needs an outside wide receiver in a big way.

Any big-time wide receiver in the portal is automatically linked to USC. The Trojans landed Jordan Addison a season ago. With Caleb Williams returning in 2023, USC is an attractive spot for a pass catcher.
