Brant Kuithe (born December 19, 1999) is an American former college football tight end who played for the Utah Utes of the Big 12 Conference.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Kuithe grew up in Katy, Texas and attended Cinco Ranch High School, where he played football and ran track. He was named the District 19-6A MVP after rushing for 1,041 yards and 18 touchdowns and punting 22 times for 881 yards despite playing in seven games only due to injury.[1][2] Kuithe and his twin brother Blake, who played edge rusher, both initially committed to play college football at Rice University, but de-committed after the firing of head coach David Bailiff.[3] The brothers later signed to play at the University of Utah over offers from Colorado and Iowa State.[4][5]
College career
[edit | edit source]In his freshman season Kuithe led Utah's tight ends with 20 receptions and 227 receiving yards with a touchdown reception.[6][7][8] Kuithe led the Utes with 34 receptions, 602 receiving yards and 6 receiving touchdowns and also rushed six times for 102 yards and three touchdowns and was named second team All-Pac-12 Conference as a sophomore.[9][10][11] As a junior, Kuithe led the Utes with 25 receptions for 236 yards in five games during the Pac-12's abbreviated season due to Covid-19 and was again named second team All-Conference.[12]
Two days after injuring his knee during the September 24, 2022 game against Arizona State, it was revealed that he would miss the remainder of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL.[13][14]
