Former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a> standout <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dillon-mitchell-37027/">Dillon Mitchell</a> decided to test the <a href="https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/">transfer portal</a> waters this offseason. And he’s been busy trying to find a new college basketball home. On Wednesday evening, it was revealed that the former McDonald’s All-American will be visiting the <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/miami-hurricanes/">Miami Hurricanes</a> Thursday on an official visit, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/TravisBranham_/status/1785828691974476193">Travis Branham of 247 Sports</a>.



In his pair of collegiate seasons, Mitchell has averaged 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 60.2% from the field. After returning to The 40 Acres <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/dillon-mitchell-returning-to-texas-for-another-season/">rather than entering</a> the <a href="https://www.on3.com/nba/draft/2023/">2023 NBA Draft</a>, Mitchell averaged 9.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and a steal while shooting 58.5% overall in year two. One of his best performances came against the <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-tech-red-raiders/">Texas Tech Red Raiders</a>, when he stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists. In 2022-2023, he played in 38 games, playing 17.4 minutes per outing, tallying 4.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.6 steals per game. He also shot 63.6% from three-point range. 



This season he helped to guide the Longhorns to the second round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, where they lost to the Tennessee Volunteers 62-58.



Mitchell, a Tampa, Florida native, played in <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/?sport=basketball">high school</a> at Montverde Academy. He was a five-star prospect and the No. 4 overall recruit in <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2022/">the 2022 cycle</a>. He enjoyed a dominant prep career, guiding Montverde to a GEICO High School National Championship. Mitchell averaged 12.3 points, 10 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game as a senior. 



In the high school recruiting rankings, he was ranked after just <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dereck-lively-ii-34627/">Dereck Lively II</a> (<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/duke-blue-devils/">Duke</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/dereck-lively-ii-mother-kathy-drysdale-dies-cancer-battle-duke-dallas-mavericks-penn-state/">Dallas Mavericks</a>), <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dariq-whitehead-30143/">Dariq Whitehead</a> (Duke, <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/brooklyn-nets-draft-dariq-whitehead-in-2023-nba-draft/">Brooklyn Nets</a>), and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/nick-smith-jr-92985/">Nick Smith Jr.</a> (<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arkansas-razorbacks/">Arkansas</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arkansas-razorbacks/news/eric-musselman-believes-nick-smith-is-entering-a-great-situation-with-charlotte-hornets/">Charlotte Hornets</a>). That’s according to <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2024/">the On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was also <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2022/?position=sf">the No. 2 SF</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2022/?state=fl">No. 2 player from Florida</a> behind only Whitehead, his Montverde teammate.



He was also named a McDonald’s All-American, becoming just the 21st in Texas basketball history to earn the honor. Mitchell also had a dominant showing in the Jordan Brand Classic, posting 18 points and winning MVP honors after he led Team Air to a 118-109 victory over Team Flight.



Mitchell was the top recruit to commit to the Longhorns as part of <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-longhorns/basketball/2022/industry-comparison-commits/">their No. 14 class</a> in <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-team/basketball/2022/">2022</a>. He came in alongside <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/arterio-morris-7681/">Arterio Morris</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rowan-brumbaugh-102560/">Rowan Brumbaugh</a>, and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/alex-anamekwe-147645/">Alex Anamekwe</a>.
