Four-star cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick, brother of NFL star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, committed to Georgia on Tuesday, according to 247Sports. Ranked No. 87 overall in the 2026 recruiting cycle, Fitzpatrick chose Georgia over other top contenders including Florida, Ohio State, Texas, and Miami.

The St. Thomas Aquinas graduate from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, visited Georgia last weekend and made his commitment shortly after. Fitzpatrick becomes the 12th member of Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class, joining other top prospects such as five-star quarterback Jared Curtis and four-star safety Jordan Smith.

Fitzpatrick’s older brother played for current Georgia head coach Kirby Smart during the 2015 season when Smart was the defensive coordinator at Alabama. The 2015 season was Smart’s last before heading to Georgia as head coach.

Here’s part of Fitzpatrick’s scouting report from 247Sports Scout Andrew Ivins:
Outside corner with prime bloodlines, who meets key height/weight/speed benchmarks. He gained early varsity experience at a prominent prep school and will head to college backed by substantial experience, despite some injury setbacks. More of a linear athlete, yet possesses the vision and awareness to read route concepts and position himself effectively. He’s quick to adjust with footwork and can stay in pace without relying on physical grabs.

Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 6 in the 247Sports team rankings behind USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and Clemson.
