OPELIKA, Alabama - An Auburn freshman football player was shot and killed at an off-campus apartment complex early Sunday morning, police said, according to local reports.

Jakell Mitchell, 18, was a local high school standout who had been redshirted his freshman year, and coaches spoke highly of his prospects.

The perp’s plan was simple — shoot Jakell and Hide.

Ask any Trekkie - when you are red-shirted, it never ends well.

I’m puzzled... He’s 18 and a high school freshman?

He was a frosh at Auburn University

Yup, thought so.

It is sad that the first thoughts are so often correct.

Four Auburn students shot and killed in the span of two years, by you know who. You won’t Sharpton and his merry band of merrymakers descending on Auburn to protest black on black crime which is responsible for 97% of murders blacks males.

They had 3 football players shot last year. Two died and a third person not on the team. Another football player was shot but survived.

They’ve also had players get addicted to Spice. One of the players sought Gus Malzhan’s help and he did nothing. They’ve had three arrested for an armed robbery that involved drugs.

Yeah, I would say they have a problem.

Try reading the comment section at the source.

Actually, don't.

The stupidity is strong on this site..

Not quite sure what it means be being red shirted and being a freshman in college.

Do they mean he does not meet the requirements for college but was accepted anyway???

[mware]

Answering my own question.

Coaches described him as a prospect with a high ceiling. AL.com reports he had been sitting out his freshman season to gain some weight.

Letting him sit out his freshman season, must be going in for the five year program.

Certain demographics will only care based on the shooter. Otherwise, non-story.

They need to protest this problem, then.

Die-ins, looting/rioting...Sharpton, Al, Eric and 0 need to see to this.
