After losing a ton of weapons on offense, Hill came back reinvigorated in 2012. He was more mature, physically developed and showed a firm confidence in his abilities to make plays. All-in-all as a senior, he completed 205-of-306 (66.99%) passes for 3,369 yards and rushed for 1,421 yards. He scored 60 total touchdowns.
Mitchell had an excellent junior season for 5A power Plano (Texas) West, but made the move back to PCA as a senior, where he amassed an impressive stat sheet. He racked up 186 tackles, 11 sacks, 32 tackles for a loss, forced seven fumbles, blocked three punts and even returned a kick-off 99 yards for a touchdown.
