Fitzgerald is classified as the 55th best receiver in its 2026 class, by 247Sports.com. It is a three -star prospect of Brophy Prep in Arizona.
He will not be the only son of an ancient NFL who seeks to leave his own brand in the game, since Fighting Irish will be filled with the next generation.

The receiver room only has Jerome Bettis Jr., son of the Pittsburgh Steelers legend, Jerome Bettis; Elijah Burress, whose father is the champions of the Super Bowl Plaxic Burress; and Kaydon Finley, son of Green Bay Packers’s Super Bowl champion, Jermichael Finley.
In defense, Thomas Davis Jr., son of former Carolina Panthers All-Pro Thomas Davis, also said he goes to South Bend in 2026.
Fitzgerald revealed to ESPN that Notre Dame offered him a scholarship in May after his junior season, where he transported 52 receptions for 720 yards with nine touchdowns. He also has a good relationship with Mike Brown, whom he has known “since he was 5 years old.”

“I have become a better ball player, and they really think I’m going to become a great player,” Fitzgerald told ESPN. “… I have shown me that I can enter, take a step forward and play early. That is your plan with me.”
The old Fitzgerald became a star in Pitt during his university days, since he won the Biletnikoff award in 2003 as a second year student. He had more than 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons as a panther before entering the 2004 NFL draft.
It ended up being the third general selection of the cardinals, and kept it for 17 years. Fitzgerald would have 1,432 trapped for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns. He also won the 2016 Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

“Having my father there to help me during the entire recruitment process has been excellent,” said Devin Fitzgerald on his father’s influence. “He knows what is important.”
