If you were unclear about who the top tight end prospect in the country is heading into Saturday’s college football slate, Florida’s Kyle Pitts’ performance against Ole Miss should have removed any doubt.
Pitts carved up the Rebels’ defense Saturday to the tune of eight receptions for 170 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Gators run away with a 51-35 victory.
A big, athletic target with a huge catch radius, Pitts showed off all the physical traits that should make him a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and likely the first player off the board at his position. He’s a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, something Ole Miss found out the hard way Saturday:
KYLE PITTS. TE1.
ENOUGH SAID.

NFL linebackers and safeties alike won’t be thrilled to have to cover him, but whichever quarterback ends up with him will be ecstatic.
