Jack Fitzgerald Jack Fitzgerald 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH New Providence | 2026 State NJ sounds like a name that should be followed with the surname “Kennedy,” but this Fitzgerald is a sneaky-good piece of the puzzle for New Providence. When lined up at receiver, we see him change speeds to open up the hips of defensive backs for easy wins at the line off of his release. Additionally, we see the 2026 graduate make toe-tapping and falling catches alike. Once he possesses the ball, we see Fitzgerald use the stiff arm to create space for himself. As a cornerback he is a bigger body who comes up to make really good form tackles. This reaction time also shows itself when Fitzgerald aggressively defends the short passing game. Something only a coaches eye would notice, when he does this Fitzgerald is sure to maintain his force leverage. I thought Fitzgerald move well on film – a solid backpedal with hips that can flip when he must turn and run or allow him to accelerate and get down hill, breaking up passes through the receiver’s body. What Fitzgerald will play in college is tough for me to say, as I thought he was equally as proficient on either side of the ball.
