Freshman wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald made his debut donning the blue and gold during Notre Dame’s Shamrock Series game against Wisconsin on Sunday.
Fitzgerald – who was selected to the 2026 Hispanic College Football Player of the Year watchlist – didn’t play, but his dad Larry Fitzgerald still showed support for him.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver and Arizona Cardinals great posted on social media that it was a “proud dad moment” to see Devin suited up for the Irish at a sold-out Lambeau Field.
“What a day!,” Larry Fitzgerald added.
Devin Fitzgerald competed at Brophy College Prep (Ariz.) for three years in his prep career. He compiled career totals in catches (149), receiving yards (2,125) and touchdowns (26). Fitzgerald’s career catches are a Brophy school
record, and the career yards and TDs are the second-most in program history.
Fitzgerald was a four-star recruit and a Navy All-American out of high school.
