Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
Fitzgerald is another QB in the Section who can easily find himself on this list. I like his film, and he is a true QB, who has the potential to become a top player in the Section. I like his strength, and his IQ and vision which sees him looking through his progressions, and finding targets for big gains. The Mamaroneck QB is a great athlete who should be on the list.

Footwork/Mechanics: This is where Fitzgerald should focus his training moving forward. He takes a majority of snaps from under center, and constantly moves around the pocket. Stepping into throws, or slowing down his footwork, can lead to more accuracy on throws.

Final Word: Fitzgerald is a solid QB, who showcases an elite IQ, and good football knowledge. He is raw but showcases a good frame, with a strong arm. He should look to improve his mechanics and footwork as he progresses through High School.
