Minkah Fitzpatrick

In recent years, no school has turned out more pro-caliber defensive backs than Alabama.

Nick Saban’s reputation for molding elite defensive backs has helped him land his share of top-flight cover corners.

One year after landing a pair of 5-star corners in Tony Brown and Marlon Humphrey, Saban and his staff earned a pledge from 5-star corner Minkah Fitzpatrick.

The 6’1”, 198-pound New Jersey native recorded combined totals of six interceptions and 33 pass breakups during his sophomore and junior seasons.

Fitzpatrick—who has also starred as a wideout at the prep level—has the size and physical attributes necessary to make an early impact at the SEC. However, it’s his instincts and nose for finding the ball in coverage that will benefit him the most in his transition to college.
