#1 JUCO Safety Bishop Fitzgerald is Taking an Official Visit to NC State this Weekend

JUCO Bishop Fitzgerald confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State this weekend.

Back on December 15th, Fitzgerald included NC State in his Top-5, which included SMU, Arizona State, Maryland and Cincinnati. What is noteworthy, is the fact that the Wolfpack offered on the 15th, and still managed to make his Top-5 released that day.

Both ON3 and ESPN rank Fitzgerald as the #1 Junior College Safety Prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, and ON3 ranks him as a 4-star prospect. ESPN ranks him as the #10 overall JUCO prospect in 2023, and ON3 ranks him 13th.

This year, Fitzgerald had 46 tackles, 6 interceptions, 8 pass breakups, 3 TDs, and 2 forced fumbles for Coffeyville Community College. Fitzgerald is originally from Dale City, Virginia.

Fitzgerald has 2 years of eligibility left, but he told me that it could be three, because his 2021 season was cut short due to Covid.

NC State already has landed one of the best JUCO players in the 2023 class in Defensive End Jykeveous Hibbler, who ESPN ranks as the #3 overall JUCO player in the 2023 class.
