The Bristol Herald Courier recently published a feature story on 2018 Virginia Tech TE target James Mitchell.

Coaches lose a lot of sleep when gameplanning for the Bears and trying to come up with a way to contain Mitchell.

"Too big, too fast," said John Battle coach Britt Stone, a former lineman at Liberty University. "He's an elite physical talent. He can play linebacker, strong safety, wide receiver, tight end, kick returner, punt returner and if they didn't have a talented quarterback I bet they could put him there and he would be all-state.

"You can't double team him and beat them. They've got other guys that can beat you. Then the whole time Coach Turner is just setting you up to get James the ball, he takes it to the house and you're back to square one trying to stop them."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
