Following a Notre Dame official visit, Devin Fitzgerald won't make his trip to UNC
It was a very good recruiting weekend for Notre Dame football, one that saw 2026 Arizona wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald having great time during his visit, which also saw a projection for him to land in South Bend. On Tuesday another development in his recruitment happened, as Rivals Adam Gorney posted on social media that the 6-foot, 2-inch and 195-pound prospect has canceled his upcoming visit to North Carolina. Advertisement This has to bode well for Notre Dame, as this was Fitzgerald's final official visit before making his decision on July 5th. The nation's No. 484 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite has previously visited Stanford, Clemson and UCLA, has now completed all of his officials. It very much looks like the Irish hit a home run on his trip, and Notre Dame could very well be adding Fitzgerald to its 2026 recruiting class early next month.

On3's Mike Singer projects that Notre Dame will land 2026 WR Devin Fitzgerald
While Notre Dame football didn't land any commitments this past weekend, as head coach Marcus Freeman says, there will be delayed gratification. If On3's Mike Singer is correct, then the Irish will be landing Devin Fitzgerald, the son of NFL and Pittsburgh legend Larry Fitzgerald. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 195-pound prospects is the nation's No. 483 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, and while the ranking might not be as high as you'd like to see, that doesn't tell the whole story. Advertisement Devin, like his father, is a great route running, and has been taught the nuances of being a wide receiver by one of the best to ever do it. You'll be hard pressed to find a better mentor than Larry, and he'd most likely bring some of that knowledge with him to South Bend. The elder Fitzgerald is already a friend of the program, having spoken with the team a few years back. If Notre Dame is able to add Devin to its 2026 recruiting class, they'd not only get a great player, but another former NFL father with loads of experience and knowledge to help as well.
