Fitzpatrick is a 6-foot-6, 255-pound tackle from Cherry Creek, Colorado. The 247Sports Composite rates Fitzpatrick as the No. 45 offensive tackle in his class and No. 2 player in the state of Colorado for 2022.
Arizona State, Colorado, Michigan State, Nebraska and Notre Dame are some of the schools that have also offered Fitzpatrick.
The junior at Englewood High School learned of his offer through Tanner Antonutti, a former Tennessee offensive lineman that went into medical retirement in 2018, but has been instrumental in helping the Vols’ coaching staff in its recruiting efforts since.
