Ah, the enigma that is Davonte Fitzgerald. Is he a freak athlete destined to hold down a impact role for the Gophers? Or is he simply an urban legend, always close but never really fully available to contribute to the team he’s spent two years preparing to join.
Fitzgerald’s story is an extremely frustrating one. As a freshman at Texas A&M, he was enjoying a solid season before a torn ACL took him down. From there, he transferred after his sophomore season, looking for greener pastures, which forced him to sit out one year before suffering ANOTHER torn ACL last year before the season even started.
