Former Florida QB Jalen Kitna 'grateful' to play at UAB

Jalen Kitna, who was dismissed by Florida after an arrest on felony charges that were later dropped, has committed to join the football team at UAB.

The sophomore quarterback has been admitted to the school, a university spokesperson told ESPN. Kitna, son of former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, plans to be on campus for an official visit Wednesday.

Kitna, who was a backup quarterback for the Gators, was arrested on five child pornography charges in November 2022 after police received a tip that a user had distributed an image of child sexual abuse material on the social media platform Discord.
