Reid Mitchell, who state prosecutors accused of brutally assaulting his teammate, Cole Hagan, in 2021, has reached a plea deal. He will serve 120 days in jail and then a 10-year probation.
Mitchell, 19, pleaded guilty on Friday. His family – including his parents, sister, and two sets of grandparents – joined him in the courtroom in Angleton, Texas, according to the Brazoria County newspaper The Facts, which first reported the plea agreement.
Mitchell left the courtroom in handcuffs on his way to Brazoria County jail for his 120-day sentence, according to The Facts. The conviction on his record will be expunged if he spends his 10-year probation free of other violations, the outlet reported.
Hagan's attorney, Loren Klitsas, told Insider that the family was "pleased" with the plea agreement.
"The family is very, very pleased with the Reid Mitchell sentence," Klitsas told Insider. "They feel like the judicial system worked."
A Brazoria County grand jury indicted Mitchell for second-degree felony aggravated assault in March 2022 following the attack on Hagan at a pool party on the night of Dec. 3, 2021. Teens Logan Huber and Ayden Holland told police they lured Hagan outside, where Mitchell beat him, leaving him hospitalized and on a ventilator with a skull fracture, brain bleeds, and a broken collarbone.
The Texas court also indicted Huber and Holland for felony aggravated assault. Their trials are scheduled for May 15, according to court records.
Cole Hagan opted to 'show mercy' to Reid Mitchell, Hagan's attorney said.
In the courtroom on Friday, the prosecution submitted a written statement from Hagan requesting the judge and district attorney's office accept the plea, The Facts reported. Hagan "spoke softly but firmly" when called as a witness to accept the terms of the plea agreement, according to the outlet.

He’ll never survive 10 years probation if they actually enforce it.
Probation violations are a one-way ticket to three hots and cot.
He'll be back.
I’d meet his punk ass on day 121.
L
Castration.
Mitchell, most likely, will not be able to stay out of trouble for 10 years.
As the father of Hagan, I would have agreed to “some” mercy but not a measly 120 days. I might have agree to one year.
10 years is impossible. He will be back in jail.
Wy wouldn’t they do it again?
Hes not a teen Hes a grown man an adult ...
what was motive?
I’d appreciate some love and mercy to his future victims.
Thanks a lot guys
This was a murderous attack. Should never have it expunged from his record. Should have gotten 10 years minimum.
Another article said the victim was dating the attacker’s ex-girlfriend. If true, it was about a girl.
Reminds me of some cops swarming and killing someone because he was seeing an ex of one of them. These sorts have weak minds and they are cowards at heart because they have to recruit help to exact their revenge. I'm sure each of the involved have a momma in the background reminding them every step of the way that they are special.
I was thinking along those lines also ... he’ll have 120 days to worry if not agonize over what will happen when the state cuts him loose.
