For his final collegiate season, Mitchell transferred to Kentucky and brought experience, versatility and a steady interior presence to a young Wildcat roster. Despite missing six February games with back and shoulder injuries, he appeared in 27 contests with 24 starts and led Kentucky with 194 rebounds and five double-doubles. He finished his lone season in Lexington with 289 points, 194 rebounds, 71 assists and 26 blocked shots while averaging 10.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.

Among Mitchell’s most memorable performances were 18 points, 12 rebounds and four three-pointers in Kentucky’s victory at Louisville; 20 points and a season-high 14 rebounds against Missouri; and a season-high 23 points against Georgia. In his final game as a Wildcat, he recorded 14 points and 13 rebounds against Oakland in the NCAA Tournament.
