One report adds that Mitchell remains among Texas A&M’s leaders in career sacks. Texas A&M athletics announced his death, while other coverage cites confirmation from his family and mentions that the passing was sudden and unexpected. Another outlet reports he was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015. The reports do not provide details about the cause of death, but they consistently describe his college and professional achievements and confirm his age at the time of his death.
