Gators in Top 5 for Brother of NFL Star

According to On3, Miami leads for Fitzpatrick after a prediction from Stephen Wagner. However, Florida will have a chance to make a leap this summer when they host Fitzpatrick for a visit on June 7.

Having not taken an official visit yet, Fitzpatrick will visit Georgia this weekend before a quick trip to Miami on June 5. He will visit his other finalists, Texas and Ohio State, on June 13 and June 20.

A large reason for Miami seemingly having the edge is Fitzpatrick's relationship with new corners coach Will Harris, who first built a relationship with the prospect while being Florida's secondary coach during the 2024 season.

Since then, though, UF's new corners coach Deron Wilson and safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri are building a strong relationship in large part to a strong unofficial visit in March.

“Even when I went up there not too long ago, we had some time together and talked a lot," Fitzpatrick said, according to On3's Gators Online. "He sat down with me and my dad, just talking about life and not even just about football. He’s a great dude. I sat through some of the meetings with him, and he really broke things down really well with (co-defensive coordinator and safeties) coach ”
