Talent is on the way to Tallahassee. Florida State will be welcoming a plethora of visitors across a multitude of recruiting classes for junior day this weekend. This will be an opportunity for prospects to get a chance to meet with the Seminoles' revamped coaching staff and learn more about the future program they could ultimately call home.

There will be an interesting name among the visitors in attendance. On Friday, three-star wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald revealed that he'll be at Florida State on Saturday. Fitzgerald picked up an offer from the Seminoles a few weeks before the program officially hired new wide receivers coach Tim Harris.

Fitzgerald is the son of NFL Legend and future Hall of Famer, Larry Fitzgerald, who spent 17 years in the league after a standout college career at Pittsburgh. The elder Fitzgerald totaled 1,432 catches for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns while suiting up for the Arizona Cardinals. He was an 11x Pro Bowler and was the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year in 2016. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2024.

The younger Fitzgerald finished his junior season at Brophy College Preparatory with 52 catches for 720 yards and nine touchdowns. He had three games of 100+ receiving yards, including a season-high four catches for 103 yards and a score in a 40-0 win against Notre Dame Prep on September 27. Fitzgerald totaled 50+ receiving yards in eight of his 12 appearances.
