In this story:

AUSTIN, Texas -- New Texas Longhorns receiver AD Mitchell has two national championship rings under his belt from his time at Georgia. 

So naturally, showing off in Saturday's Orange-White Spring Game in Austin was hardly a tall task for him.

Mitchell ended off the first half of Saturday's scrimmage in highlight-reel style, snagging an impressive one-handed touchdown in the closing seconds. He gave the White team a 21-3 lead headed into the locker room while finishing the half with four catches for 42 yards and the touchdown.

Take a look:

Crazy enough, Mitchell was only the third-leading receiver for the White team in the first half. Led by quarterback Quinn Ewers, White team was slinging the rock all over. Jordan Whittington paced the receivers in grabs with five catches for 59 yards while Xavier Worthy led all players in yardage with four catches for 83 yards.

Even in limited action at Georgia while suffering through some injury issues, Mitchell proved he belonged. In two seasons in Athens, he caught just 38 passes for 560 yards, but seven of those grabs went for touchdowns. In two National Championship game appearances, Mitchell posted three catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns.

Mitchell caught a touchdown in all four College Football Playoff games during his Georgia career.
