Tre' McKitty Finds His NFL Home

Graduate transfer tight end Tre'McKitty was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tre' McKitty has found his NFL home. The graduate transfer tight end will be on his way to Los Angeles with the 97th pick of the NFL Draft.

McKitty came to Athens as a graduate transfer from Florida State. He's an athletic tight end with decent size at 6-foot-4, 246 pounds. He has a good catch radius, and is a willing blocker in the run game. 

McKitty suffered a knee injury during the offseason leading up to the 2020 season, which sidelined him for much of the season. Once he was on the field, he flashed several times, catching six passes for 108 yards. 

McKitty decided to opt out to focus on his health for the Peach Bowl against Cincinnatti.

He was plagued by a lot of bad luck during his time in college, but McKitty has the potential to be a major target on the next level. He has the frame, speed and athleticism, and with some coaching, he can become an absolute steal for the Chargers.
