Status
McKitty, a product of the prestigious IMG Academy in Florida, originally committed to Miami in the summer of 2015, but opened up his recruitment in December of 2015. The Vols are using tight ends coach Larry Scott, and his Florida connections, to try to land one of the top tight ends in the nation, though the competition is pretty fierce.

How He Fits
McKitty is a powerful tight end who looks comfortable as an in-line tight end that can block defensive ends and linebackers. He’s also a big target with soft hands in the passing game, though he may not have the speed to really stretch defenses at this point.
Tennessee’s top two options at tight end, Ethan Wolf and Jason Croom, are heading into their junior and senior years respectively, so the Vols are looking at a handful of options to help restock that position for the coming years.
