2024 Florida CB Jon Mitchell commits to Penn State Football
Penn State Football landed their sixth verbal commit commitment in the class of 2024 today as cornerback prospect Jon Mitchell went public with his decision on Saturday morning.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound prospect plays for Manadarin High School down in Jacksonville, Florida and chose the Nittany Lions over 33 other offers from programs such as Alabama, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, USC and several others.
As a member of the class of 2024, Mitchell is ranked as a 5.7, three-star recruit which slots him as the No. 88 overall prospect in the state of Florida and the No. 57 overall cornerback prospect in his class.
The Florida native is currently on his second trip to campus since October as he’s been on campus since Thursday and he really felt the love from the coaching staff. On top of that, Mitchell also built a very close bond with cornerbacks coach Terry Smith, whose development of DBs over the past fews years has really caught the attention of recruits across the country.
Mitchell is coming off a solid junior season where he finished 37 total tackles (23 solo), three tackles for loss, four pass deflections, one interception and one fumble recovery.
Penn State is not only getting a solid cornerback prospect, but they are also getting a recruit from a school that features several other notable targets including 2024 cornerback Antoine Belgrave-Shorter and 2025 wide receiver Jamie Ffrench.
