Four-star safety Bryce Fitzgerald made waves on Saturday by committing to the Miami football program, choosing the Hurricanes over other top contenders like Florida and Florida State.
Fitzgerald’s decision adds significant talent to Miami’s 2025 recruiting class, as he joins a growing list of high-profile commits. The safety, who hails from Miami Columbus, is ranked as the 130th overall prospect, the 12th best safety, and the 21st player in Florida for the 2025 class. His commitment further strengthens Miami’s already impressive secondary, which includes fellow four-star safeties Hylton Stubbs and Amari Wallace.
In 2023, Fitzgerald showcased his defensive prowess with 20 tackles, five interceptions, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery, and a forced fumble, according to Max Preps. Andrew Ivins of 247Sports praised Fitzgerald for his ability to diagnose routes, his range, awareness, and athleticism—qualities that make him a standout player in his position. He is now the 14th commit in Miami’s 2025 class.
Fitzgerald’s recruitment was primarily led by Miami’s cornerback coach Chevis Jackson, with offensive line coach Alex Mirabal, an alumnus of Columbus, playing a key secondary role. His familiarity with the Miami program is evident, having visited the campus six times, according to On3. In comparison, he visited Florida State twice and Florida once, along with an unofficial visit to LSU.

With Fitzgerald’s commitment, Miami now boasts 15 blue-chip prospects out of 22 total commits in the 2025 class, solidifying their position as one of the top recruiting programs. He is the fourth-highest ranked commit in the class, joining elite players like Stubbs, cornerback Jaboree Antoine, and center Seuseu Alofaituli.
Fitzgerald’s decision to join Miami propels the Hurricanes’ 2025 recruiting class ahead of Oregon, moving them up to ninth nationally. The addition of Fitzgerald, alongside talents like Zaquan Patterson, Stubbs, and Wallace, ensures that Miami will have one of the most formidable safety groups in the country for years to come.
