Tight End Tre' McKitty Decommits From Ducks, Signs With Florida State
The Oregon Ducks lost the commitment of Tight End Tre McKitty on Friday night.
Former Head Coach Mark Helfrich was a ‘nice guy’. He worked in his style on the Class of 2017 and found Tre’ McKitty. He was visited by Matt Lubick and Tom Osborne according to 247Sports. Earlier this month Helfrich was fired from the U of O. Last week Willie Taggart was hired and several recruits scattered. McKitty was not one of them, but now unsure of what will happen with the staff that recruited him, he had made a decision about his future.
Friday night, McKitty decommitted from Oregon and shifted his commitment to Florida State. Head Coach Jimbo Fisher visited with McKitty last week before the dead period began.
