Jalen Kitna

Jalen Kitna is a three-star recruit out of Texas. He was the 56th ranked QB in the high school class of 2021.

Kitna does come from a solid bloodline to become a successful QB. His father, Jon Kitna, lasted in the NFL from 1996 until 2013 and was the coach of Jalen’s high school team.

Like Miller, Kitna has yet to see meaningful game action. His Spring Game performance also didn’t help his cause as he too threw an interception.

It was also announced last week that Kitna was going to have a “small procedure” done and he would have to miss some time.
