Dillon Mitchell of CE King is a modern day Superman
The Fastest Kid in America - CE King's Dillon Mitchell - dual-sport star making national headlines
“Superman” wasn’t a nickname Dillon Mitchell asked for — it just fit.
A Little League coach saw it early.
The speed. The burst. The way he seemed to glide past everyone else.
“That kid can fly… he’s like Superman.” And the name stuck.
Now, Dillon Mitchell is becoming a household name as one of the fastest athletes in America.
The C.E. King High School sophomore recently turned heads nationwide, clocking a wind-aided 9.88 in the 100 — a time that lit up social media.
He broke the internet.
On the football field, the offers are pouring in. Mitchell is already one of the most coveted wide receivers in the country, helping lead C.E. King to a State Finalist finish in Class 6A Division II.
Athleticism runs in the family.
His father was part of the famed “Wrecking Crew” defenses at Texas A&M Aggies football in the 1990s, while his brother carried on the legacy at Texas State Bobcats football and was a state champion on the track.
Dillon Mitchell’s favorite movie is… the Notebook. He’s a huge Rom-com fan.
Honestly, what’s not to love about CE KIng’s Dillon Mitchell.
