The youthful brother of present Louisville WR Dez Fitzpatrick selected Louisville over quite a few different Energy 5 affords (together with Washington State and Boston School). Christian decommitted from Washington State a number of days in the past. He now turns into the twenty third total dedication and 4th WR prospect to decide to the College of Louisville for the 2020 class (highest WR score); a category that’s at present ranked within the prime 35 nationally. Christian Fitzpatrick took an official go to to Louisville on Oct. 19 for the Clemson sport.
Fitzpatrick ought to match proper in as an out of doors receiver in Louisville's offense. At 6'4, Fitzpatrick makes use of his giant body to place his physique to assist create a much bigger goal for his quarterback. Fitzpatrick is a greater than succesful possibility for operating routes via the center of the sphere and making powerful catches. Christian additionally makes use of his lengthy arms and vertical to go up and assault bounce balls, which is the very best level, bounce balls he normally wins.
Whereas Christian is just not as agile and cell as his older brother, he nonetheless has good agility and is ready to make defenders miss within the open discipline. His agility permits him to run nice and correct routes to get open.
Christian performs with nice physicality. His energy makes it inconceivable for the protection to speak about him within the press. This makes him a wonderful blocker within the run sport as effectively. That makes him an important match for Satterfield's offense, which likes to run the stretch sport to the surface.
Fitzpatrick has large, tender however violent arms that he makes use of to catch the ball. His size and people arms give him unimaginable attain. He'll be a QB's finest buddy as a result of should you throw him close to him, he'll most likely catch it.
Fitzpatrick additionally has velocity. He's not a burner, however he has sufficient velocity to be a menace to put off the home. It glides throughout the sphere and appears easy.
Gamers that Fitzpatrick jogs my memory quite a lot of are present Louisville WR Seth Dawkins and former Louisville WR Devante Parker. He's a giant, athletic receiver who goes up and will get the ball. He can go over the center, go deep on the fade or run diagonally; very similar to the 2 WRs above are identified to do.
Scott Satterfield received the massive bodily WR he needed on this recruiting cycle. Christian Fitzpatrick is a play maker and might actually assist the run sport together with his blocking. All of the QB actually has to do is get the ball in his basic space and Fitzpatrick will come down with it. Glorious pickup for UofL Soccer.
