Jakell Mitchell Biography

Jakell Mitchell is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on January 1, 1996 in Opelika, Alabama, United States. A 911 caller reported the shooting around 12:25 a.m. Jakell was pronounced dead not long after arriving at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika, 207 days after his high school graduation and 18 days before his 19th birthday. His high school coach Brian Blackmon was notified by 2:30 a.m. that morning and visited Jakell’s mother Arlicia.

At daybreak Jakell’s red Dodge Challenger, with vanity plate “Jakell”, was towed from the scene. Before leaving for college, Jakell’s father had cautioned him to stay away from the negative influences of his hometown Opelika, but believed he would be safe inside the Auburn “bubble” within East University Drive that loops around the campus. From 2000 to 2012, Auburn had averaged a mere 2.2 homicides per year, so cases of murder were indeed a rarity.

Jakell played football under Brian Blackmon, head coach for one season prior to Mitchell’s arrival. While serving as assistant coach for the team, Blackmon had received a Masters Degree from nearby Auburn University and had been named 2004 Alabama High School Assistant Coach of the Year by the Nike Coach of the Year Clinic. Blackmon attended Troy State from 1993 to 1996 at the same time as Mario Mitchell, but a back injury ended his football career and he never played on the same team as Mitchell. However, they were acquainted in high school as Blackmon’s Robert E. Lee High School played Mitchell’s Opelika High School.

Jakell entered Opelika High School as a freshman in the fall of 2010 where his brother, senior Jamario, was a basketball star. Ranked among the top players in Alabama, Jamario as a junior had led the team to its best season in school history with a record of 28–7, a No. 17 ranking, and a trip to the AHSAA Elite 8.

Jakell Lenard Mitchell (January 1, 1996 – December 14, 2014) was an American college football player who was shot and killed during his freshman year at Auburn University. He was a heavily recruited three-sport athlete at Opelika High School in Opelika, Alabama.

Jakell Mitchell was the son of Mario and Arlicia Mitchell. Like Jakell, Mario Mitchell played football at Opelika High School. By his senior season of 1991–92, Mario had become a top defensive line prospect. Following a recruiting visit by Larry Blakeney, head coach at Troy State University and former Auburn quarterback, Mario committed to Troy State and enrolled in the fall of 1992.

In an interview published by TroyTrojans.com just 15 days prior to Jakell’s murder, his father Mario recalled his own nefarious upbringing. “I was on the streets” Mario explained, describing a life of bad influences, poor grades, and his mother’s crowded dwelling housing 14 individuals in the projects of Opelika. Mario and girlfriend Arlicia, his future wife, already had one young child Jamario, an older sibling of Jakell’s, upon entering college. Mario was academically ineligible during his first year at Troy State during which time the couple had a second son Jakell on December 14, 1996 but despite the adversity Mario completed his college education by 1996 and credited Coach Blakeney for saving his life. “If he didn’t give me that opportunity, I’d be dead or in prison. I say that because all my friends were in prison or dead when I was in college.”

During his senior year, Mario led Troy State to its only undefeated regular season in school history, finishing 11–0. Weeks later during the ensuing Christmas break, just prior to his final semester of college, Mario and Arlicia gave birth to their third son Jamius on November 11, 2001 in Opelika. The Mitchell family settled in Opelika where Mario owns several small businesses. Mario was arrested December 18, 2018 for drug trafficking in Opelika, Alabama. He is a notorious and significant member of a network of drug pushers.https://www.oanow.com/news/crime_courts/father-of-jakell- mitchell-charged-on-drug-trafficking- offense/article_6305daf0-03e7-11e9-b233-b7348fde6d58.html
