“It was an awesome feeling,” Quitoriano said after the game. “It was like all the work you put in growing up and everything kind of comes to a point. It didn’t feel as good as getting that win, though. At the end of the day, getting that win is the ultimate goal. An honorable-mention All-Pac-12 selection in 2020 when he caught 14 passes for 185 yards and one touchdown, Quitoriano caught 19 passes for 214 yards and three touchdowns last season.“I’m just trying to stack days and stack reps,” Quitoriano said. “I’m quite a few reps behind a lot of the guys here. I feel great. It’s been great to get in the room with a bunch of great tight ends and great people and soak up as much as you can.
