Chloe Kitts has made a name for herself as a standout forward for South Carolina, but she isn’t the only basketball talent in her family. Her younger sister, Kylee, is beginning her collegiate journey as a freshman guard for Florida.
While Chloe thrives in the frontcourt and has earned gold medals with Team USA at the 2022 U18 FIBA Americas Championship and 2023 U19 FIBA World Cup, Kylee specializes in perimeter play, using her versatility to stretch the floor and create scoring opportunities both inside and out for the Gators.
Meet Kylee Kitts: Chloe Kitts’ Sister and Florida Gators’ Rising Star
Kylee, a 6’4″ guard-forward, has already proven her talent on the court. As a sophomore, she guided Faith Christian Academy to its first-ever Florida High School Athletic Association state championship, contributing 10 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in the title game.
During the 2022-23 season, she averaged 13 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks per game before transferring to Hagerty High School. Initially ranked as a top-25 prospect in the 2025 class, she later reclassified to 2024 and committed to Florida.
Gators coach Kelly Finley recruited Kylee for her leadership, basketball IQ, and versatility. Since joining the program, she has made notable strides in strength, speed, and physicality, though her availability for the season remains uncertain due to injury concerns.
