With his legal case closed, the former Thompson High School star will have an opportunity to participate in Alabama team activities this summer.

“He has been able to report back to all team activities,” The source said. “He has done everything he needs to do. He understands the three-year probation is not going to be a cakewalk. He’s been following all the rules. I just hope that this time taught him a valuable lesson, how quickly this game of football and life can be taken from you.”

Mitchell signed with Alabama in December and enrolled at the University of Alabama in January.
