Brandon Fritts

Position: TE-Y

Number: 82

Class: Sophomore

Height: 6’4″

Weight: 245lbs

Hometown: Mentor, Ohio

Awards/Stats:

  • Played in all 13 games as a Redshirt-Freshman
  • 14 Catches, 184 Yards, 3 TDS in his 1st Year
  • Had 3 Catches for 63 Yards (Season-High) in win over VT
  • Went to high school with Mitch Trubisky

2015 Recap: As Mitch Trubisky takes over at the Quarterback position, look for him to rely on high school teammate Brandon Fritts quite a bit in the 2016 season. Brandon Fritts was able to see action in all 13 games in 2015, which should help his development coming into his second year. Brandon Fritts will be looking to be the next big receiving tightened for the Heels, filling the shoes of Eric Ebron.
