Florida quarterback Jalen Kitna has been arrested on five charges relating to child pornography, it was announced Wednesday.
Kitna, the son of longtime NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, was booked on two charges of distribution of child exploitation material and three charges of possession of child pornography, a Gainesville Police Department spokesperson told TMZ Sports. The arrest came after law enforcement searched Kitna’s apartment.
In a statement, the Gators said Kitna has been suspended indefinitely as the investigation unfolds
Kitna, a 19-year-old out of Tacoma, Washington, was a well-regarded recruit when he committed to Florida in 2020. The redshirt freshman had seen his first game action in 2022, going 10-of-14 in four games while throwing a touchdown pass, all in garbage time of blowout wins.
