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."

Sounds like an excellent future QB, DE or OL
This hurts my soul.
Don't forget WR while still listed at TE. We've started moving TE's outside now, too.
Hey everybody. Long time reader first time poster here. I graduated from John Battle last year and I will say that he is one the most impressive athletes I have ever seen in person. Whether it was catching 5 td's an game or dunking on our basketball team, it was impressive. One of my friends had to cover him and he was juked out of his socks more than he would like me to tell.
Good stuff BennyMcQ. And welcome to posting.
Leg for first post, they come harder after this *insert phrasing meme
