Tight end Tre’ McKitty is emerging as one of Deondre Francois’ go to receiving options in Willie Taggart’s offense. The sophomore hauled in the first touchdown catch of his career to put the ‘Noles ahead of Samford late Saturday night. McKitty brings a different type of threat to the offense with an imposing frame at 6’5”, 245 pounds.
McKitty finished the game with five receptions for 59 yards and score. His night should have been even better, with a big grab on a 32-yard gain that was flagged because he was an ineligible receiver. A major takeaway from McKitty’s post game interview was cleaning up these sloppy mistakes.
