Loyola Academy, a top-ranking football program in Wilmette, Ill., less than five miles from Wildcats’ Ryan Stadium, announced Thursday that Fitzgerald will be a parent volunteer for the program.

They wasted little time in naming him the starter for the first game of the season. Richardson’s regular season NFL debut is set to take place on Sunday, September 10 at home against the reigning AFC South champions, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
