A Star in the Making: Devin Fitzgerald Chooses Notre Dame
USASun Jul 06 2025
Devin Fitzgerald, a talented young wide receiver, has decided to join Notre Dame's football team. He is the son of Larry Fitzgerald, a famous NFL player. Devin is part of the class of 2026 and is ranked as the 71st best wide receiver in his group. He picked Notre Dame over UCLA and is the 24th player to join their team this year.
Devin has been impressing coaches since his freshman year. Last year, he had a great season with 52 catches, 720 yards, and nine touchdowns. Notre Dame finally offered him a scholarship in May, after seeing his skills improve.
Mike Brown, Notre Dame's wide receivers coach, has been a big part of Devin's recruitment. Brown played in the NFL and has known Devin since he was five years old. Devin believes that Notre Dame sees his potential and wants him to play early.
Following in his father's footsteps, Devin will play major college football. Larry Fitzgerald had an amazing college career at Pittsburgh, winning awards and setting records. He played his entire NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals and retired as one of the best players ever.
Devin says his dad has been a big help during the recruitment process. He wants to go somewhere he feels comfortable and can fit in. Devin is one of three players with NFL family ties joining Notre Dame in 2026. The team already has four wide receivers committed, and more may join soon.
