John Fitzpatrick, Tight End (#86):

Class: Redshirt sophomore

Height: 6-6

Weight: 230 pounds

Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia

High School: Marist High School

Georgia Bulldogs tight end John Fitpatrick played in eleven games last season. He recorded one catch against Murray State. The Marist High School product played in two games during the 2018 season. He was able to redshirt during this season.
