 *Keaton Mitchell, East Carolina, Player News


  East Carolina running back Keaton Mitchell made arguably the biggest decision of his life this week. The third-year player announced his decision to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft on Monday via social media. Mitchell finished off back-to-back seasons with at least 1,000 rushing yards when he ran for a game-high 127 yards and one touchdown in the Pirates' 53-29 win over Coastal Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 27. That performance capped a standout career that placed Mitchell among the best players in team history. Mitchell rushed for at least 100 yards in the final seven games of the season and rushed for 100 yards nine times this season.

He had 15 100-yard rushing games in his career. Mitchell finished the 2022 season with a career-high 1,452 rushing yards with 14 touchdowns while adding 252 receiving yards and a score. His rushing total was the second most in a single season in school history, and he finished third all-time with 3,027 yards. "After lots of thought and consideration, I would like to make my dream come true and follow in my father's footsteps," Mitchell wrote. "I am entering the 2023 NFL Draft." Mitchell's father, Anthony, was a defensive back who played six seasons in the NFL from 2000-05. Anthony Mitchell won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2000. He also played for Jacksonville and Cincinnati. - Daily Reflector
