07/31/21 - Re-al Mitchell, rSr/2024, San Diego + More +

The Wuerffel Trophy, College Football's Premier Award for Community Service, today announced its 93-player watch list. Temple quarterback Re-al Mitchell was among the group of student-athletes nominated for the prestigious award. Throughout last season, Mitchell used his time off the field wisely, participating in a variety of community service events totaling over three dozen hours.

Mitchell used this time to develop a relationship with Jaidyn from TEAM IMPACT, as well as participate in physical education classes with elementary school children with the Camden Promise Academy. Among many other community service events, Mitchell worked in conjunction with the Temple Police to service a block around campus as part of a cleanup effort. Another of the ways he's trying to help is by introducing his teammates to better mental health awareness. He has started regular meetings under the acronym R.A.I.S.E. - Raising Awareness in Student-athletes' mental health Everywhere. - Temple Football

05/21/20 - Re-al Mitchell, rSr/2024, San Diego + More +

Quarterback Re-al Mitchell, who just completed his redshirt freshman season at Iowa State, has made a verbal commitment to transfer to Temple, a source confirmed. OwlScoop.com was the first to report the news. Last year, Mitchell attempted just four passes. Junior Brock Purdy, who threw for 3,982 yards and 27 touchdowns, is entrenched in the position. Temple football coach Rod Carey maintains a positive attitude while dealing with the coronavirus pandemic Listed as 6-foot and 195 pounds, Mitchell is a dual-threat quarterback. He was a three-star quarterback coming out of St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif. According to his Iowa State profile, he chose the Cyclones over Rutgers, Arizona, Illinois, Kansas State, and South Carolina.

His mother, Sha-ri Mitchell, a former hurdler and triple-jumper at Nebraska, was "Blaze" in the television show American Gladiators. His father, Rodney, played "Knightmare" in the television show Knights and Warriors. Temple doesn't have proven quarterback depth behind redshirt senior Anthony Russo, who will be a third-year starter. Behind Russo is redshirt sophomore Trad Beatty, redshirt freshman Kenique Bonner Steward, and redshirt senior Matt Vitale, a walk-on. None of the three has attempted a pass. - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News
