Many Spartan fans that share the same football passion for the Detroit Lions will be seeing a familiar name on the roster this upcoming fall — Kitna.
Jordan Kitna, son of former Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna, will join MSU Football as a preferred walk-on next season, following in his father’s footsteps as a signal caller. Jordan Kitna, a two-star pocket-passer from Waxahachie, Texas, didn’t receive a ton of recruiting attention thanks to his size and a broken collarbone that limited his senior season. Despite suffering a broken collarbone that kept Jordan Kitna (6 feet 0 inches and 201 pounds) out for three games, he completed 116-195 passing attempts for 1,906 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and three interceptions in his senior season for Waxahachie High School.
