The Michigan Wolverines were in the mix for fringe four-star wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald, but with the recruiting season now in a dead period, the truth is emerging. Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines hoped the son of NFL legend and future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald would give them the chance to compete until the end.
However, the Wolverines failed to make the final cut to four teams. Instead, the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder from Phoenix, AZ, is focusing on Notre Dame, UCLA, Stanford, and Clemson. The Irish are considered the heavy favorite with an 89% prediction machine rating.
One reason Michigan may have backed off is the recent commitment from four-star Zion Robinson. The 6-foot-3 playmaker from Texas gave the Wolverines his word in late June. While Michigan is also adding three-star Jaylen Pile, nabbing Robinson was seen as a significant addition.
It also appears likely Michigan will grab four-star 6-foot-3 playmaker Travis Johnson from Virginia. The Wolverines were entangled with Penn State for the big receiver, but have emerged as the major favorite in that race.
With three receivers, and two fitting the same mold as Fitzgerald, it's possible Moore called off the dogs and is happy with his 2026 recruiting haul already.
Fitzgerald will announce his decision this Saturday, July 5. All four programs hosted Fitzgerald for official visits across the last two months. He traveled to UCLA in May before hitting Clemson, Stanford and ND last month.
Here's what Fitzgerald had to say about his fit at Notre Dame, which is where insiders expect him to land.
“South Bend had a great energy to it. You could feel how much the program means to the people there. The environment was all about brotherhood a very tight-knit group, focused, and built on real relationships. What continues to excite me most about the opportunity to play for Coach Freeman and the Irish is how it’s bigger than just football.”
