ccgeneral Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Avon High is a place Indiana has been able to go and recruit talent the last few years. The Hoosiers signed one Oriole in Joe Belden last year and also have offensive lineman DeAndre Herron, an alum who came to IU after going the JUCO route. Now they have struck first in the recruitment of rising junior outside linebacker Bryant Fitzgerald, an aggressive run defender who had 77 tackles a year ago. He says he is hearing from Iowa, Boston College, Cincinnati and Maryland as well, but Indiana is his first offer. "It feels really great to have my first offer especially from my hometown school," he said. Being close and having former teammates in Bloomington has allowed Fitzgerald to become familiar with the school despite only going into his junior season. "I've been to IU a lot and I really love the campus and school. They have great facilities and coaches." http://www.scout.com/college/indiana/story/1567566 Quote

lucel15 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 2 of the best defensive teams in college football and us....wow that's impressive. I'm assuming playing time was important obviously. Yeah my brother is 2 years older. But got to play with him and I've seen him play. Dude is an athlete and freak of nature. He may get two more stars. Kids can play anywhere on the field. Apparently I guess he told the Avon coaches that we were third and LSU and MSU were front runners (this was recent I guess as well) so not sure what went down to get him. But I'm happy and I hope we can keep this commit ALASKA HOOSIER, Crimson and Cream, HoosierAloha and 4 others 7 Quote
boog23 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 He didn't have offers from those LSU and MSU. Quote
lucel15 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 He didn't have offers from those LSU and MSU. Well apparently they had been in serious talks. Quote
lucel15 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 He didn't have offers from those LSU and MSU. So either he will get offers soon (fwiw he probably will). This will be a hard recruit to keep until next feb Quote
boog23 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 For sure, he's going to be a good one. I don't doubt that he'll get some big time offers before it's all said and done. I just hope that he remembers that we showed him love when no one else was. Quote
Hoosier Roots Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah my brother is 2 years older. But got to play with him and I've seen him play. Dude is an athlete and freak of nature.

But I'm happy and I hope we can keep this commitI don't know how I didn't realize this until now but I played against this guy. The dude was super athletic and tough as hell to block! Dog on the turf. This is a awesome get if we can keep him! Stuhoo 1 Quote
akhosrof Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I wonder if Fitzgerald turns into a four star recruit as he picks up bigger offers. He's going to be a difficult one to keep, as others have said, but it's huge positive momentum for the program. Quote
JaybobHoosier Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Awesome pick up! Welcome about Mr. Fitzgerald. Quote
ccgeneral Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Illini trying to move in. This would be his 2nd B1G offer. @B_fitz31: I'm blessed to have received an offer from the University of Illinois #Illini Quote
