Chris Fitzgerald brings proven backfield disruption to JMU’s defensive front
Chris Fitzgerald is a productive, battle-tested **defensive lineman** for James Madison, with **99 career tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles** in the available roster bio, plus a strong 2023 season that included **36 tackles and 5.0 TFL**[1]. His value is tied to **interior disruption** more than flash: he consistently creates negative plays, plays with an active motor, and gives JMU a reliable piece who can stress protections and fit multiple front looks[1][5]. For a team needing toughness and proven production up front, he looks like a solid fit[1][3].
