"I'm going to be a Warrior," said Mitchell, whose 15-0 team has been ranked as high as third nationally.
Mitchell, who said he is 6-feet-1 1/2 and 195 pounds, has thrown for 38 touchdowns this season. He has been intercepted only four times. His team plays for the state championship Saturday.
The families of Mitchell and UH cornerback Ryan Mouton, who was a Katy star, have known each other for years.
Mitchell said he sent a DVD of his highlights to Mouton, who passed them on to the UH coaches. An offer was made, and Mitchell accepted.
Mitchell said he will visit UH on Jan. 18. But he said his commitment is firm.
