- Graduate Manager
Dee Mitchell, a three-year letterwinner for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, is in his first season as a graduate manager with the Bulldogs.
Mitchell joined the Cowboys’ roster as a walk-on in January 2019 and played in five games that season, highlighted by a clutch 3-pointer at No. 11 Texas Tech to help force overtime. After playing in 19 contests in 2019-20, including a pair of starts against Houston and Minnesota, he played in six games during Oklahoma State’s 21-9 campaign in 2020-21 which culminated with an NCAA bid and the Cowboys being ranked No. 11 in the final AP poll.
Mitchell drew national attention in January 2021 when head coach Mike Boynton surprised him with the news that he was going to be placed on scholarship while he was at his full-time job at Walmart.
Mitchell was the 2018 District 16-3A MVP at Jefferson (Texas) High School after averaging 20.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals. He helped the Bulldogs compile a combined 51-14 record and back-to-back perfect 14-0 district marks as a junior and a senior. Mitchell also was a first-team all-district performer in football with 97 tackles and six interceptions as a senior.
Mitchell earned his bachelor’s degree in Sports & Coaching Science from Oklahoma State in 2022 and is pursuing a master’s in Kinesiology (Sport Pedagogy) at Georgia.
