Coming into the Old Dominion spring game, Jonah Fitzgerald was largely untested, only having thrown for 21 total yards in his freshman season, but emerged as the surprise of the game.
Fitzgerald, who is a product of Hidden Valley High School in Roanoke, showed a new wrinkle in his game with his mobility.
Fitzgerald scored the only rushing touchdown among the quarterbacks, a 53 yarder. This breakaway showed off his ability to run, an ability that had not been revealed prior. Fitzgerald also led the way with 180 yards passing however he did throw an interception.
“I thought I did what I expected to do, whatever the defense gives you is what you have to work with but I’m still learning and working,” Fitzgerald commented.
