Mitchell Fraboni (born October 28, 1996) is an American football long snapper for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Arizona State[1] and went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was signed and released from the Houston Texans of the NFL in the 2021 offseason.[2]
Early life and education
High school
Fraboni attended Mountain Pointe High School where he played football. He played multiple positions including tight end, defensive end, and long snapper. He helped Mountain Pointe win their first ever Arizona State Football championship. He finished with 49 solo tackles, 10 sacks and 68 total tackles during high school.[1]
College career
Mitchell was a long snapper and defensive end for the Sun Devils from 2014 to 2017. He had 13 total tackles and one fumble recovery in 4 seasons as a defensive end. He tied for the most special team tackles on the Sun Devils in his sophomore season at ASU. He was injured in his junior season, but came back and showed he was one of the most accurate/athletic long snappers in the PAC-12.[1] In his senior season he was named to Phil Steele's all Pac-12 team[3] and was one of ten Sun Devils to earn All Pac-12 Academic Honors.
He and kicker Zane Gonzalez and punter Matt Haack (both current NFL players) formed one of the best kicking units in the country. He was praised for being a good locker room presence by special teams coach Shawn Slocum. As a senior, he was a key component in helping the Sun Devils special teams flourish after Gonzales and Haack left for the NFL. Slocum also said that he was half player, half coach for the younger players.[4]
