Bo Levi Mitchell
Bo Levi Mitchell (born March 3, 1990) is an American professional football quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at SMU and Eastern Washington, leading Eastern Washington to an FCS national championship victory in 2010. He also won the Walter Payton Award in 2011 as the best offensive player in the FCS.
After going undrafted in the 2012 NFL draft, Mitchell signed with the CFL's Calgary Stampeders in 2012. He became Calgary's starting quarterback for the 2014 season, setting a number of club and league records including best record for a first-time starting quarterback in league history (12 wins, 1 loss). He won the 102nd Grey Cup in 2014, the CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award in 2016 and 2018, and the 106th Grey Cup in 2018. With his second Grey Cup win as starter, he became the first quarterback to start and win multiple Grey Cup games with the Stampeders organization. Mitchell was named the first-team quarterback on the CFL's 2010–2019 All-Decade Team.
After two injury-plagued seasons, the 2020 CFL season being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a benching, Mitchell signed with the Tiger-Cats as a free agent in 2023. He led the CFL in passing yards for the first time in 2024. Mitchell is ninth all-time in CFL history in starting quarterback wins, and the fastest quarterback to reach 100 wins. He is also ninth all-time in career passing yards.
Bo Levi Mitchell was born on March 3, 1990, in Katy, Texas. He played high school football at Katy High School, and took over as the starting quarterback after Andy Dalton graduated. As a senior in 2007, Mitchell passed for 2,451 yards and 37 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He led Katy to a 16–0 undefeated season and a state championship. He was named to the Houston Chronicle's Houston Top 110. Mitchell graduated from Katy High in 2008. He chose to attend Southern Methodist University over an offer from Hawaii. Mitchell was also recruited by Eastern Washington.
Mitchell played two seasons of college football for the SMU Mustangs from 2008 to 2009. As a true freshman in 2008, he threw for 2,865 yards and 24 touchdowns. However, SMU finished the 2008 season with a 1–11 record while Mitchell's 23 interceptions were the most in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.
Mitchell started the first seven games of the 2009 season before suffering a shoulder injury and being replaced by freshman Kyle Padron. Mitchell recovered from his injury but Padron remained the starter. Overall in 2009, Mitchell completed 56 percent of his passes for 1,725 yards and 12 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for a passer rating of 117.9. SMU was 3–4 in Mitchell's seven starts before winning five of its last six to finish 8–5. Mitchell started all 19 of the games he played at SMU, finishing with totals of 385 completions on 676 pass attempts (57.0 percent) for 4,590 yards (241.6 per game), 36 touchdowns, and 33 interceptions. His passer rating was 121.8.
As a junior in 2010, Mitchell transferred to Eastern Washington University, which had previously recruited Mitchell out of high school. He helped lead the Eagles to victory in the FCS Championship Game, a 20–19 come-from-behind victory over the University of Delaware, the school's first national championship in football. He was named the game's Most Outstanding Player after throwing three touchdown passes in the final 16 minutes of the game and had 302 total passing yards in the game as well. Mitchell earned honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference and Big Sky All-Academic honors for the 2010 season.
In the 2011 season, Mitchell led the FCS in four statistical categories, including passing yards (4,009) and touchdown passes (33) on his way to breaking four school records. He broke EWU's record for single season passing yards with 4,009, which ranks 17th in FCS history and fifth in Big Sky Conference history. Mitchell won the Walter Payton Award as the best offensive player in the FCS. He was also named the Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Big Sky. Mitchell was named to seven All-America teams this season, earning first team honors on six of them. He was the top quarterback on teams selected by The Sports Network, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp, Associated Press, Phil Steele Publications and Beyond Sports College Network. He majored in interdisciplinary liberal arts at Eastern Washington.
