Devin Fitzgerald, son of former NFL star Larry Fitzgerald, is making a name for himself beyond his father's legacy. A senior wide receiver at Brophy College Prep in Phoenix, Arizona, Devin stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 200 pounds. On July 5, he committed to play football at Notre Dame.
Devin has demonstrated remarkable talent throughout his high school career, accumulating over 1,600 receiving yards and scoring more than 20 touchdowns. His consistent performance highlights his potential as a key player for the future.
Jason Jewell, Devin’s head coach, praises his significant growth this season, especially in work ethic and blocking skills.
“Improved, let’s put it that way. I’ve been on him a lot and we coach our kids hard. That’s part of the reason why our kids have success at the next level because they have been put in a situation where they know the expectations and standards of playing football at a high level. Also, what I am probably most proud of him for this year is receivers don’t like to block, and Devin has turned into a good blocker.”
The Fitzgerald name carries weight in football. Devin’s father, Larry Fitzgerald, played 17 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. Having a father who navigated this path offers Devin valuable insights and support.
“It’s been great to know somebody. He’s my dad and he has been through the same process before, so it was good to put a list together to see what is most important and just going through everything little by little and making sure we make the right decision.”
Devin Fitzgerald is confidently forging his own football career at Notre Dame, supported by his father’s experience and his growing skills as a receiver and blocker.
