INDIANAPOLIS -- When Adonai Mitchell signed with the University of Georgia in 2021, he was one of just five members of his recruiting class ranked outside the ESPN 300.
Of the 20 signees, 16 were considered four- or five-star recruits. Mitchell was not one of them.
And yet, the lanky three-star receiver from Missouri City, Texas, had the audacity to believe he could compete at one of the top programs in the country. He even had the nerve to think he could play as a freshman for a team that would go on to win the national championship that fall.
