Sean Fitzpatrick ready to make leap to college football Posted Dec 13, 2009 Sean Fitzpatrick announced Wednesday that he completed a very long and important homework assignment. Fitzpatrick is a senior at Pittsford Mendon, but not for long. His plan is to finish high school academic requirements on Jan. 4 and begin classes at the University of North Carolina a week later. Fitzpatrick already will be a student at North Carolina when he formally accepts a full athletic scholarship in February to play tight end on the football team. (Rochester Democrat & Chronicle)
