Scouting Journals for Justice Fitzpatrick

Polished corner with the size, speed, and technical refinement to be one of the top defensive backs in the 2026 cycle. Measured at around 6-foot-0.5, 200 pounds with arms over 31 inches before his senior season. A good athlete who showed considerable improvement in his speed, consistently running under 11.0 seconds in the 100 meters as a junior, along with a 21.97 time in the 200 meters. Lines up as an outside corner for South Florida area powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas. Has the strength to reroute receivers off the line of scrimmage. Fluid mover who makes smooth transitions in coverage. Has the long speed to stick with receivers on vertical routes. A good tackler in space and delivers with pop on contact. Had two interceptions and seven pass breakups as a junior. Lacks offensive experience, playing at a powerhouse that doesn’t have two-way players. Younger brother of former Alabama star, first-round pick, and All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Has the versatility to play corner, nickel, or safety at the next level with the upside of developing into an early-round draft pick.
