Larry Fitzgerald's son, Devin, opens up about his dad's support in his recruiting process

During an interview with ESPN, Devin Fitzgerald, a three-star wide receiver prospect, discussed his dad's role in his recruiting process.

Devin said that having an ex-NFL star by his side helped him make a wise decision regarding his football future:

"Having my dad there to help me throughout the recruiting process has been great. He knows what's important. You want to go somewhere you feel like you belong and where you fit in."

Larry Fitzgerald's son also opened up about how Notre Dame WR coach Mike Brown was a key factor in his decision.

"I've developed into a better ballplayer, and they really think I'm going to turn into a great player. I've known Coach Brown since I was 5 years old. He's shown me that I can come in, step up and play early. That's their plan with me."

The Fighting Irish had an impressive 2024 campaign, competing for the national championship, but lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes, finishing with a 14-2 record.
