Notre Dame lands huge recruiting commitment from NFL legend Larry Fitzgerald's son image

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program just added some serious pedigree.

Devin Fitzgerald, a 3-star receiver, committed to Notre Dame on Saturday.

Yes, that Fitzgerald.

He's the son of Arizona Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald, one of the greatest WRs in the history of the sport.

Larry-Fitz was a Heisman Trophy contender at Pittsburgh before starring for more than a decade in Arizona.

Devin plays his high school football at Brophy Prep in Phoenix.

He's a 6-foot-2, 205-pound member of the Class of 2026.

Devin's other finalists were Clemson, Arizona State, Arizona, Stanford and UCLA.

Notre Dame is working on a top-five class nationally.

Devin Fitzgerald may not have the most stars in the group, but he's got by far the most historic pedigree. Big win for Marcus Freeman.
