Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald’s son Jack committed to play for his dad’s team, the high school senior announced on Thursday.
The tight end will join the Wildcats in 2023 after he graduates next spring. He’s currently entering his senior year Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill., so he won’t have to travel far to Evanston for his collegiate career.
Jack is the oldest of Fitzgerald’s three sons. The middle son, Ryan (class of 2024), plays as quarterback at Loyola Academy, while the youngest son is still in middle school.
The eldest Fitzgerald is no stranger to the Northwestern football program.
