Tre’ McKitty named to Mackey Award watch list

Georgia football TE Tre’ McKitty has been named to the John Mackey Award watch list for the 2020 college football season.

Florida State graduate transfer tight end Tre’ McKitty, who made the switch to Georgia in January, has been named to the 2020 Mackey Award watch list.

This award is named after former Syracuse and Baltimore Colts tight end John Mackey, and is awarded annually to college football’s most outstanding tight end.

McKitty caught 50 passes for 520 yards and two touchdowns during his time at Florida State. He came out of IMG Academy in Florida as a member of the 2017 recruiting class and chose FSU over Georgia, Miami and Auburn.

Dawg fans hope McKitty will be a veteran replacement to former Georgia tight ends Eli Wolf and Isaac Nauta, who are now on NFL rosters.
