In what will certainly not be his first honor this offseason, Florida Gators tight end has been named a Walter Camp First Team All-American.
Pitts ended his sophomore campaign with a team-leading 54 receptions for 649 yards and five touchdowns. All three of those marks were tops among tight ends in the SEC and earned him All-SEC honors after the 2019 season.
Pitts jumped on the organization’s radar last season as he was named a Walter Camp Player of the Year semifinalist. In addition, he also received John Mackey Tight End of the Week honorable mention recognition twice in 2019.
Walter Camp, considered the “Father of American Football,” first named an All-American team in 1889. The 2020 season will be the 131st edition of the team. In late November, the 2020 All-America teams will be selected by the head coaches and sports information directors of the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision schools and will be certified by Marcum’s New Haven-based accounting firm.
