Jalen Kitna Biography – Jalen Kitna Wiki

Jalen Kitna is an American football player and the son of former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna. A Florida Gators redshirt freshman quarterback, Kitna appeared in four games for the Gators in the 2022 season. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown. Kitna has been suspended indefinitely from the football program following his arrest.

Kitna signed with Florida as a member of the 2021 recruiting class. He did not take the field during his true freshman but emerged as the backup to starting signal-caller Anthony Richardson during the 2022 season.

Kitna notably entered at a crucial point in the first half against FSU when Richardson was sidelined for a few plays due to injury.

The backup kept the drive alive in Richardson’s absence — albeit not recording a pass — as he was on the field for two third-down conversions and reeled off a six-yard rush of his own to push the ball into the red zone. That set up a go-ahead touchdown pass upon Richardson’s return to take a 14-7 lead in the first quarter.

The Burleson (Texas) High School product was expected to at least compete for a starting spot this offseason as a result, if Richardson elects to depart from the program for the NFL Draft, alongside redshirt sophomore Jack Miller III, true freshman Max Brown, incoming freshman quarterback Jaden Rashada and a potential transfer portal addition.
