Maggitt attended and played college football at the
University of Tennessee from 2011–2015 under head coaches
Derek Dooley and
Butch Jones. In the 2011 season, he started eight games at
strong-side linebacker as a true freshman. As a sophomore in 2012, he started nine games. In the season opener against
NC State, he was credited with an 18-yard sack and forced a fumble that resulted in a safety. In the 4OT loss to
Missouri, he suffered a torn ACL and was out for the remainder of the season. He took a redshirt year for the 2013 season to recover. He returned from his injuries and started in ten games in the 2014 season. On the year, he recorded 11 sacks on the season, 48 total tackles, and one forced fumble. In the 2015 season, he started the first two games but suffered a hip injury which sidelined him for the rest of the season. Maggitt declined to seek a sixth year of collegiate eligibility and declared for the NFL Draft.
