While Notre Dame football didn’t land any commitments this past weekend, as head coach Marcus Freeman says, there will be delayed gratification.
If On3’s Mike Singer is correct, then the Irish will be landing Devin Fitzgerald, the son of NFL and Pittsburgh legend Larry Fitzgerald. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 195-pound prospects is the nation’s No. 483 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, and while the ranking might not be as high as you’d like to see, that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Devin, like his father, is a great route running, and has been taught the nuances of being a wide receiver by one of the best to ever do it. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better mentor than Larry, and he’d most likely bring some of that knowledge with him to South Bend. The elder Fitzgerald is already a friend of the program, having spoken with the team a few years back.
If Notre Dame is able to add Devin to its 2026 recruiting class, they’d not only get a great player, but another former NFL father with loads of experience and knowledge to help as well.
