St. Thomas Aquinas High School cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick of Fort Lauderdale (Florida) has been offered a USC this week. The Trojans continue to make strong recruiting inroads in the Deep South with an eye toward their future. Justice is the younger brother of former Alabama All-American and Pittsburgh Steelers starting safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
He is projected to be a cornerback, but can also play at an elite level at the free safety position. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound defensive back is ranked as the No. 4 cornerback in the class of 2026, the No. 5 player in the state of Florida and the No. 39 player overall regardless of position.
Fitzpatrick had an impressive sophomore season with 13 tackles, 2 interceptions and 3 deflections in 6 games.
So far, Fitzpatrick has offers from USC, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, Duke, Florida State, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Syracuse, Temple, Texas A&M, UCF and West Virginia. Doug Belk would love to be able to develop him into a future USC secondary.
