Juco quarterback Thomas MacVittie commits to Les Miles, KU football

New Kansas football coach Les Miles might have just secured his quarterback for 2019.

Thomas MacVittie, a 6-foot-4 QB who started his career at Pittsburgh before transferring to Mesa (Ariz.) CC, announced his commitment to KU on Tuesday afternoon.

MacVittie, a three-star Rivals recruit in the class of 2016, was recruited by Miles and LSU before choosing Pitt out of high school. MacVittie didn’t play in any games his first year during a redshirt season with the Panthers. In 2017, he participated in three games as part of the punt return unit before leaving the school.
