Tre’ McKitty, Tight End (No. 87):
Class: Graduate Student
Height: 6-5
Weight: 245 pounds
Hometown: Wesley Chapel, Florida
High School: IMG Academy
Georgia Bulldogs tight end Tre’ McKitty transferred to the University of Georgia following the end of the 2019 college football season. McKitty left Florida State University.
McKitty projects as the starting tight end on Georgia’s roster next season. He’ll face some solid competition, but the experience he gained at FSU (played in 35 games) sets him apart from the rest of the group. The Bulldogs are replacing Eli Wolf and NFL draft selection Charlie Woerner.
Georgia added class of 2020 five-star TE Darnell Washington this offseason. Washington is projected to be McKitty’s main competitor for the starting role. They figure to all compete with John FitzPatrick, the most experienced returning tight end, for playing time.
McKitty racked up 520 total yards at FSU. He was a three-star recruit coming out of IMG Academy. He enters the season on the Mackey Award watch list. He can block too:
There were some nice blocks on this early jet sweep to Tre’Shaun Harrison, but the best one was Tre’ McKitty blocking down on the DE. Have a seat, buddy. pic.twitter.com/oRcTZ5UbE0
