J.B. Fitzgerald, as expected, pledged his commitment to become a Michigan Wolverine. Fitzgerald is the second linebacker recruit in the 2008 class, joining fellow New Jerseyan (Jerseyite? Jersish?) Marcus Witherspoon.
Fitzgerald, while only a four-star prospect, was the main focus of Steve Szabo’s recruiting push of late (Szabo is the linebacker coach, as well as Michigan’s recruiter for New Jersey). Fitagerald is the player for whom Michigan eased recruiting on such players as Steve Filer (ND) and Jon Major (still uncommitted).
At 6-3, 225, Fitzgerald is a Strongside or Middle Linebacker. More on Fitzgerald to come.
