Devin Fitzgerald and other former NFL stars' sons are bolstering Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona. With six players who are sons of former professional football stars, the Broncos are looking poised for a remarkable run at the Arizona state title.
After seeing two sons of NFL players graduate last season—Aiden Miller (son of linebacker Jamir Miller) and Devan Kennedy (son of cornerback Jimmy Kennedy)—Brophy Prep is gearing up for another standout season.
Top 5 NFL star sons to watch out for Brophy Prep high school football squad
#5 Jorden Cunningham
Jorden Cunningham is entering his senior year and is ready to anchor one of the best offensive lines in Arizona. He will play alongside Logan Powell, who is committed to Wisconsin, and Anderson Kopp, who will head to Kansas.
While his current offers include Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona and New Mexico State, bigger programs are likely to take notice as his senior year unfolds. Jorden’s father, Rick Cunningham, played for the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts throughout six seasons.
#4 Bastian Vanden Bosch
Bastian Vanden Bosch had a breakout sophomore year, recording 66 tackles, including 10.5 for loss, seven sacks and three forced fumbles. The linebacker has garnered offers from notable programs like Arizona, Arizona State, Iowa and Boston College.
His father, Kyle Vanden Bosch, enjoyed a long NFL career as a defensive end, playing 12 seasons for the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions. He was a three-time Pro Bowler who finished his career with 58 sacks.
Bastian's twin brother, Case Vanden Bosch, is also on the Broncos roster. The 6-foot-2 junior quarterback has offers from Nebraska and Iowa.
#3 Donovan McNabb Jr.
Donovan McNabb Jr. brings speed and athleticism to the wide receiver position, contrasting with his father, Donovan McNabb Sr., who was a star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Donovan Sr. led the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance in 2004 and had a remarkable NFL career.
#2 Devin Fitzgerald
Wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald already holds offers from Arizona, Washington State and his father’s alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. His father, Larry Fitzgerald Jr., retired with 1,432 receptions, 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns and is considered one of the best receivers in NFL history.
In his first two games this season, he’s hauled 10 receptions for 135 yards and four touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald has emphasized to his son the importance of finding his own path.
"I have always made clear to Devin that his journey is his own," Larry said.
#1 Daylen Sharper
Standing tall at 6-foot-4, wide receiver Daylen Sharper is the highest-rated recruit on the Brophy squad and arguably the most versatile athlete on the team. He had a stellar sophomore year with 36 receptions, 478 yards and four touchdowns. His current football offers include Arizona, Arizona State, Minnesota and Boston College.
In addition to these five stars, senior safety James Pike has a unique NFL connection. While his father didn’t play in the league, his uncle, Michael Bidwill, is the owner of the Arizona Cardinals.
