Seth “Mayhem” Mitchell was a decorated high school athlete in the state of Maryland.

According to Wikipedia, after receiving more than a dozen football scholarship offers, Mitchell decided to attend Michigan State University.

In 2005, Mitchell was forced to stop playing football because of damaged cartilage in his knee.

After his football career came to an abrupt end, he was inspired by Tom Zbikowski to try his hand at boxing. Mitchell signed with Golden Boy Promotions and has built up a record of 26-2-1, 19 KOs as a Heavyweight contender and is still active.
