COACH RIVAS-SANDOVAL SAYS: “Another great product from our summer camp. We began the relationship early and it paid off in the end. Fitz has all the tools to be a great college quarterback. He is not only a very cerebral player, but is also more than athletic enough to make plays with his feet. We are very excited about what our quarterback competition will be like after Tim Jenkins graduates.”
