A teen involved in the brutal beating of a Texas high school football player faced up to 20 years in prison. The victim's family showed 'mercy' and he'll serve 120 days.

• In a plea deal, Texas teenager Reid Mitchell pleaded guilty to assaulting teammate Cole Hagan, The Facts reported.

• Mitchell will spend 120 days in jail and the next 10 years on probation.

• The Hagans are "very pleased" and feel the justice system worked, their attorney told Insider.

Reid Mitchell, who state prosecutors accused of brutally assaulting his teammate, Cole Hagan, in 2021, has reached a plea deal. He will serve 120 days in jail and then a 10-year probation.

Mitchell, 19, pleaded guilty on Friday. His family – including his parents, sister, and two sets of grandparents – joined him in the courtroom in Angleton, Texas, according to the Brazoria County newspaper The Facts, which first reported the plea agreement.

Mitchell left the courtroom in handcuffs on his way to Brazoria County jail for his 120-day sentence, according to The Facts. The conviction on his record will be expunged if he spends his 10-year probation free of other violations, the outlet reported.

Hagan's attorney, Loren Klitsas, told Insider that the family was "pleased" with the plea agreement.

"The family is very, very pleased with the Reid Mitchell sentence," Klitsas told Insider. "They feel like the judicial system worked."

A Brazoria County grand jury indicted Mitchell for second-degree felony aggravated assault in March 2022 following the attack on Hagan at a pool party on the night of Dec. 3, 2021. Teens Logan Huber and Ayden Holland told police they lured Hagan outside, where Mitchell beat him, leaving him hospitalized and on a ventilator with a skull fracture, brain bleeds, and a broken collarbone.

The Texas court also indicted Huber and Holland for felony aggravated assault. Their trials are scheduled for May 15, according to court records.

Cole Hagan opted to 'show mercy' to Reid Mitchell, Hagan's attorney said.

In the courtroom on Friday, the prosecution submitted a written statement from Hagan requesting the judge and district attorney's office accept the plea, The Facts reported. Hagan "spoke softly but firmly" when called as a witness to accept the terms of the plea agreement, according to the outlet.

Mitchell made no statement at the hearing besides affirming Judge Patrick Bulanek's questions that he understood the terms of the agreement, one of them being that Mitchell cannot contact Hagan, The Facts reported.
