Layden Fitzgerald is a quarterback for Shelbyville High School. Fitzgerald, a Class of 2029 prospect, has a quick release and accurate arm, especially over the middle of the field. He throws with great velocity on short/intermediate passes, flashes solid touch on the deep ball and does a great job of setting his feet and pulling the trigger. He finished last season with 1,448 passing yards and 15 touchdowns through the air.

Fitzgerald is a poised young quarterback who looks good. He’s been in total command of the offense since week 1. He’s a good athlete who could be labeled as dual-threat, but I like his awareness and calmness in the pocket. He’s completed 58% of his throws for 586 yards and 6 TDs, and then added 162 yards and 3 TDs with his legs.
