Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
McKitrick has had a good start to his season and came through in week 3 with a big game. His vision inside the hole makes the difference more often than not. He carried it 28 times for 290 yards and 3 TDs. He also broke a 95-yard TD on the night, where he showcased his speed. I’ve always liked McKitrick and like seeing him reach his potential.

Read EvaluationSam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Breaking out and having a stellar year is the small school back from Western. He was someone I met a few summers ago at a camp and saw potential, but he needed to develop. Well, he has and he’s on his way to becoming a top back in the class. He’s versatile, has great vision, and can handle a full workload. 1600 yards and on the ground, another 100 yards through the air, and 14 total TDs landed McKitrick where he is now. He’s talented and should only continue to grow over the next few years, so he shouldn’t have an issue finding a home when the time comes.
New Rank: 28
