Brother of Alabama Legend Offered by Tide
Alabama fans both young and experienced felt old during this past recruiting cycle as the son of former Alabama standout Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. was recruited by and signed by Alabama in the 2024 recruiting class.
Now, even younger Crimson Tide fans will feel old. Does anybody remember Minkah Fitzpatrick? The two-time national champion, two-time consensus All-American, and 2017 Bednarik and Thorpe Awards winner?
His younger brother is already building an impressive resume as well, and just added a legacy offer to his belt. Justice Fitzpatrick, the younger brother of Minkah Fitzpatrick, was re-offered by Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide on Tuesday.
Justice Fitzpatrick is not set to live in the shadow of his older brother. He's created a name for himself as one of the top cornerbacks in the country. According to composite, Justice is the No. 34 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class and the No. 3 overall cornerback in the 2026 class.
Fitzpatrick has good size, standing at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds according to 247 Sports. He currently holds offers from some of the top teams in the country, including Florida State, Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and now, Alabama.
Fitzpatrick attends St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
