Former Oklahoma TE Davon Mitchell was one of the top tight ends to become available in the entire portal this offseason following his entry in the spring cycle. Now, he’s off the board with his commitment today to a top program in the ACC.

Mitchell has committed from the portal to Louisville, per On3’s Pete Nakos this afternoon. Mitchell has also since shared news of his commit to the Cardinals with a graphic on social media posted on Sunday.

Louisville is the program that was most involved with Mitchell by last week per multiple reports from Nakos since Monday. They brought him on a visit on April 29th and 30th and, after checking his medicals and background as far as being a fit for them, have since ended his recruitment in the transfer portal.

That’s after Mitchell was no longer part of the program at OU per reporting out of Norman earlier in April. That’d eventually lead to his entry into the portal at the start of the spring cycle after not playing a snap last season as a true freshman for the Sooners.

Mitchell, a York, Alabama native, went on to finish his prep career at Los Alamitos in California after also playing at Allen in Texas. He also reclassified at the time of his commitment from 2025 to 2024 after being one of the top players in ’25. With that reclassification, Mitchell rated as a Top-200 recruit and a four-star in the ’24 cycle. He also ranked just outside the Top-10 at tight end and in the Top-15 prospects from the state of California. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Mitchell would commit out of high school to Oklahoma over other programs like Alabama, Miami, and Georgia among others. That’d make him one of the Sooners’ top signees in a Top-10 class for them in ’24.

Per the latest update to On3’s Industry Ranking of 2025’s Top Transfer Portal Players, Mitchell then rated as one of the top tight ends, specifically among the ones who entered this spring. He ranked at No. 349 overall and as the No. 15 TE transferring this offseason.

Mitchell is now the 27th addition in the portal, and the eighth to commit in the spring, for Louisville. Three of them the past two weeks have been tight ends with Mitchell along with C.J. Jacobsen (Utah) and TE Jacob Stewart (San José State) with the other five being Treyshun Hurry (San José State) and Dacari Collins (NC State), DLs Kendrick Gilbert (Kentucky) and Justin Beadles (New Mexico State), and DB Joseph Jefferson II (Western Michigan, Purdue). He’s the fifth highest-rated of them all in total, per those ratings by On3, who have committed to Jeff Brohm in the portal.
