Justice Fitzpatrick, the younger brother of Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, has officially committed to the University of Georgia as a four-star cornerback. Hailing from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Justice picked the Bulldogs, largely influenced by the relationship his family has with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who previously coached Minkah at Alabama.
Justice’s confidence in his decision is evident as he expressed a strong bond with Coach Smart and familiarity with the Georgia coaching staff, which he has had the opportunity to work with during camps. “Georgia checks off most of my boxes,” he mentioned while discussing his commitment.
Throughout his junior year, Justice put on an impressive performance, racking up 34 tackles, seven pass breakups, and two interceptions, contributing significantly to the St. Thomas Aquinas team that claimed the Florida 5A championship title. His outstanding season earned him recognition as a MaxPreps Junior All-American.
A detailed scouting report highlights Justice as an outside corner with promising athleticism and solid instincts. Although he has faced various injuries in the past, his experience playing at a high-level program has prepared him well for college football. He possesses the ability to read plays effectively, showcasing strong spatial awareness—a critical asset for any defensive player.
Meanwhile, his brother, Minkah Fitzpatrick, now in his eighth season in the NFL, continues to make headlines. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, Minkah aims to return to his peak form after a season where he recorded only one interception. His straightforward approach to getting back on track is simply to “just play football.”
Justice’s commitment not only brings excitement to the Georgia Bulldogs but also continues the Fitzpatrick family’s legacy in football, highlighting both their talent and resilience. As he embarks on his collegiate journey, fans will be eager to follow his development and contributions to the Bulldogs’ defense.
