RECRUITING: Desert Pines’ Jaden Mitchell commits to Arizona football

Desert Pines junior wide receiver Jaden Mitchell made an oral commitment to Arizona on Friday, announcing his decision on Twitter.

Mitchell’s commitment is nonbinding, and the first day he can sign a letter of intent is Feb. 7. Arizona’s coaches cannot comment until that time.

“They have an up and coming program and I feel that I can make a big impact when I come up there,” Mitchell wrote. “I made this decision because it’s a very comfortable place up in Arizona. And I’ve already built great relations with the coaches and players.”
