- Blake Mitchell (American football)
Lewis Blake Mitchell (born September 23, 1984 in LaGrange, Georgia) was a college football quarterback for the South Carolina Gamecocks.
High School Years
Mitchell attended LaGrange High School in LaGrange, Georgia, where he was a letterman in football. As a junior, he led his team to a Class AAA State Championship and was a Class AAA All-State selection. He finished his senior season with 81 completions out of 133 pass attempts for 1,553 yards and 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions, and he was named as an EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback. Rivals.com rated him as the 55th Best Prospect in the Nation. Blake Mitchell graduated forom LaGrange High School in 2003.
College Years
He led the Gamecocks to the Independence Bowl against the Missouri Tigers, and though South Carolina took a 21-0 lead, Missouri whistled back to win 38-31. The very next year, in 2006, he led the Gamecocks to a victory over the University of Houston in the Liberty Bowl by a score of 44-36. He will be remembered as the only quarterback in Gamecock history to defeat the Tennessee Volunteers, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, and Clemson Tigers in a career. Unfortunately though, he'll also be remembered for one of the greatest collapses in Gamecock history which occurred in 2007. On October 20, 2007, Mitchell took part in a disappointing loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores 17-6 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, when the Gamecocks were 6-1 and the #6 team in the nation. The Gamecocks followed that loss to finish up losing the next four games to Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, and Clemson. These five straight losses gave the Gamecocks a final record of 6-6, and left them no bowl invitations.
