Mizell has chosen the University of Florida over Alabama and Tennessee, according to Hayes Fawcett via Twitter on Friday. It always seemed like the Gators had the inside track with Mizell, as his parents ran track and field for the Gators during their college careers.

The Boone wide receiver caught 47 passes for 1,003 yards and scored 18 touchdowns in the 2021 season. Compared to his sophomore season, Mizell caught 13 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns, improving by 31 more receptions and 830 more through the air.
