It’s been reported elsewhere, and I’ll repeat it here – former University of Virginia defensive end Jeffrey Fitzgerald is transferring to Kansas State, according to his high school coach. I’ve yet to write it for the Eagle because I’ve yet to contact Fitzgerald. When it happens, expect a story.
Anyway, Fitzgerald is a 6-foot-3, 278-pound end who was highly productive in the ACC. If he is the same in the Big 12, he should have a future in the NFL, according to NFLDraftScout.com’s Rob Rang.
“He has the potential,” Rang said. “I just want to see him put it all together. Going from one high-level program to the next, to be able to have an impact in two conferences, that would be impressive.
“For the NFL, he’s one of the players who has showed enough that they’ll have to keep an eye on.”
