Waco, TX – [Date] – Baylor University’s athletic program received a monumental boost as former Bears basketball star Davion Mitchell pledged an impressive $3 million to the men’s basketball team. This donation marks one of the most significant contributions ever made by a former Baylor athlete, demonstrating Mitchell’s commitment to the program that helped shape his career.
Mitchell, who played a key role in Baylor’s 2021 NCAA Championship victory, has remained a proud ambassador of the university. His generous gift will go toward enhancing facilities, supporting player development, and strengthening the program’s long-term success.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Baylor,” Mitchell said in a statement. “This program, the coaches, and my teammates shaped me as a player and as a person. I want to give back and ensure future Bears have every opportunity to succeed, just like I did.”
Baylor’s head coach, Scott Drew, expressed immense gratitude for Mitchell’s contribution. “Davion’s generosity speaks volumes about his character and his love for this university,” Drew said. “This gift will have a lasting impact on our program, helping us compete at the highest level and continue building a championship culture.”
