Mike Ferrell is one of those that recognize that Mitchell could be a very special talent:
"Who's the one skill position player in the Rivals100 that could end up accelerating his development upon arrival at college a la Ezekiel Elliott (ranked No. 84 in 2013)? I'll take a shot in the dark and say Memphis wide receiver Dillon Mitchell, who scored 43 touchdowns this past season and fits exactly what Oregon loves to do on offense with his ability in space. My answer could change following the final eval, however, as someone else could emerge."
