Former Florida quarterback Jalen Kitna reportedly will continue his career in the American Athletic Conference as he looks to return to football from a hiatus stemming from since-dismissed felony charges.
Kitna, the son of ex-NFL QB Jon Kitna, has committed to UAB and has been admitted into the school. He will make an official visit to the program on Wednesday, ESPN reported Saturday. Kitna’s decision comes approximately six months after the redshirt sophomore agreed to a plea deal that dropped five charges connected to his November 2022 arrest for allegedly possessing child pornography.
“I acknowledge that I made naive decisions that I deeply regret and have since learned from,” Kitna said in a statement to ESPN. “As a result, I took responsibility by pleading no-contest to second-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges related to those decisions.”
