ATHENS, Ga.— Georgia fans may have noticed that Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald is a Georgian. The Richmond Hill (just south of Savannah on I-95) native was unknown to almost all college football coaches as a prep prospect.
You can add Kirby Smart to that list of coaches.
“I didn’t know much about Nick (in the recruiting process),” Smart said. “He was kind of under the radar. Just goes again to show what Dan has been able to do with quarterbacks. He saw something in the kid. He’s unbelievably competitive, physical, big. I mean, he did it with Dak Prescott.
