Indiana State Football adds Andrew Mitchell to coaching staff

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State head football coach Mike Sanford has announced the hiring of Andrew Mitchell, who will serve as the offensive line coach for the Sycamores beginning this fall.

 

Mitchell – an Oklahoma State alum who has served time at Houston, North Carolina and TCU in addition to his alma mater – replaces outgoing offensive line coach Vince Natali, who left for New Mexico after three seasons on Sanford's staff with the Sycamores.

 

“We went on a national search for the best young offensive line coaches in the country,” Sanford said. “We interviewed a few and we feel great about our hire of Andrew Mitchell. He has a great background, including stints at North Carolina and TCU, which both utilize offenses that fit in very well with what we do here.”

 

Mitchell comes to Indiana State following a short stint at Texas Christian this past spring. Previously, Mitchell was a graduate assistant coach at North Carolina (2014-15), Houston (2013) and Oklahoma State (2012).

 

At OSU, Mitchell helped the Cowboys to back-to-back bowl games in 2008-09 before enjoying two short stints on NFL rosters with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010 and both the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012.

 

Mitchell transferred to Oklahoma State from Snow Junior College. There, the Choctaw, Okla., native earned All-America honors and was a part of SJC's 2007 team that made the NJCAA national title game.

 

Indiana State Football opens the season at home vs. Butler on Sept. 3, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores will begin fall training camp next Friday, Aug. 5.
