JUCO S Bishop Fitzgerald Includes NC State in his Top 5

JUCO Safety Bishop Fitzgerald included NC State in his Top-5 schools yesterday, which also included SMU, Arizona State, Maryland and Cincinnati.

The Wolfpack made a quick impression on Fitzgerald, because they also offered Fitzgerald a scholarship yesterday.

Fitzgerald has spent the past two seasons at Coffeyville Community College (Kansas). In 2021, the season was shortened due to Covid, limiting Fitzgerald to only 6 games of action as a Freshman. As a Sophomore this year, Fitzgerald had a dream season statistically with 6 interceptions. He also had 50 tackles and 8 pass breakups.

Originally, it was thought that Fitzgerald might possibly visit this weekend, but after speaking with him, he is planning on taking an Official Visit in January.

Fitzgerald has 2 years of eligibility remaining, but after speaking with him, he said there is a chance that number will be three, due to his 2021 season being shortened due to Covid.
