The Canes landed one of the best athletes in Florida with the commitment of DB Bryce Fitzgerald. The 6'1, 175-pounder picked off 10 passes last year for a state champion Columbus team, while also scoring multiple TDs as a receiver, returner, and defender.

Fitzgerald is considered an elite athlete locally and ran one of the faster combine times in the South with a 4.48 forty. He chose Miami over FSU and LSU and is considered the #120 overall player in the country.

In addition to his football exploits, Fitzgerald is also a skilled basketball player. He put up 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.5 steals as a sophomore on Belen Jesuit's state title team, and will return to the hardwood as a senior on a loaded Columbus squad featuring the top-rated Boozer twins.

Fitzgerald is the 22nd commitment in Miami's class, joining QB Luke Nickel, RB Girard Pringle, TE Brock Schott, TE Luka Gilbert, OT Jaden Wilkerson, OT Demetrius Campbell, OG Max Buchanan, OG TK Muex, OC SJ Alofaituli, DE Herbert Scroggins, DT Donta Simpson, DT Mykah Newton, LB Gavin Nix, LB Ezekiel Marcelin, LB Elijah Melendez, CB Chris Ewald, S Hylton "Drake" Stubbs, CB Jaboree Antoine, DB Amari Wallace, and DB Tim Merritt

Every clip I see of him
He looks good
And he’s toying with players with his speed
Not sure why there’s a sentiment that he’s a jag
From the highlights I’ve seen he looks better than Pickett as a cb

It's the lack of physicality people are questioning about him but he's definitely an athlete with ball skills

Weren’t people questioning his speed too? If anything he plays very fast. Guy is a ballhawk. Admittedly needs to learn contact though.

He looked plenty fast there to me in that clip against MNW level athletes! And he looks big too unless it’s just the pads. He’s a game changer no doubt. You find somewhere to put him in our secondary.

As much as it pains me to say this, because I ******* hate Columbus and everything they stand for, this kid is the goods and is currently my favorite player in the class. If he's playing corner here then I'm not as mad at the lack of physicality

That was me and I still feel this way.

We’ll see what he looks like when he hits the field here.

I don't think you can teach physicality. You either have it or you don't.

Jenkins wasn’t physical his first few years here. After he took that rs when he got hurt his 3rd year he came back a different player. He added some weight and all of a sudden he became physical

Coverage skills and someone who can consistently keep discipline in their assignments is paramount to me. Make up speed would be the next tier and tackling after that.

Physicality is way more mental and desire than just actually being physical. You can tell in one practice if a guy likes to hit and if he doesn't cool play at CB but know you'll be targeted

I guess the question is: Is he going to tackle like Rayshawn Jenkins or Deion? lol
