Like his older brother, Fitzpatrick plays in the secondary but is expected to play cornerback at the next level rather than safety. He’s currently regarded as one of the top prospects nationally in the class of 2026 regardless of position. He’s the No. 43 overall player and the No. 3 cornerback in the country for this cycle, per247Sports Composite rankings.
Fitzpatrick does have an offer from Alabama, which he picked up last summer. He’s taken unofficial visits to programs such as Florida, Miami and Ohio State so far this spring. There is no timetable for him to make an official commitment.
He attends St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He’s listed at 6-foot, 185 pounds.
Minkah is approaching his 8th NFL season after becoming a first-round pick out of Alabama back in 2018. He’s made 5 Pro Bowl rosters and has played for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2019.
