Jalen Kitna reportedly enters transfer portal, former Florida QB seeking new team after plea deal
Published:
Jalen Kitna has entered the transfer portal, according to On3’s Matt Zenitz.
The former Florida Gators quarterback reached a plea deal last week that saw 5 counts of felony child pornography charges reduced to 2 misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. He’ll serve 6 months probation for each count, though he will not have to register as a sex offender and was not issued a fine.
Kitna was arrested in November 2022 after sharing sexually explicit photos on Discord. He was dismissed from the team and banned from Florida’s campus until November 2025. He has been taking online classes since.
“The valuable lessons that I’ve learned through this whole deal have been very helpful,” he said in a statement Wednesday. “I’m looking forward to applying those things and moving forward.”
Kitna came to Florida as a 3-star quarterback from Texas. He spent 2 seasons with the program and appeared in 4 games.
Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
