2007 PROSPECT: This WPIAL all-star has been a fast riser in the recruiting circles of late. Bobo, snagged some early offers and has seen the likes of Miami, Pitt, Penn State, Akron, Toledo, WV, Syracuse, UConn, and Maryland come on of late. Played mostly CB, Bobo is still learning the WR position.Penn State coaches Joe Paterno and Tom Bradley have made in-school visits to talk with Bobo and West Virginia and Pittsburgh have sent coaches. Fitz also plays bball and his father was a 4-year starter at Duquesne. $cout.com recruiting expert Bob Lichtenfels says this of Bobo:
Give this kid two years and look out. He is still learning the game."$cout Profile ** #55 player in $cout.com Top Players in PA Rival$ Profile Fab50 Top WR OFFICIAL VISITS: Miami 1.12.07 Temple 1.19.07

Here’s one analysis of Bobo:
Summary: Great size and superior athletic ability puts Bobo in the upper echelon of wide receiver recruits. Friends with Duquesne teammate Elijah Fields and would be interested in playing with him at Pittsburgh. Big time prospect. Fitz Bobo is a Plaxico Buress-type of reciever. he does not have blazing speed like Fields, but is a big play threat just like Fields. he will put on about 10-15 more pounds also. He will be (depending on the school situation) one of the top 3 players in the WPIAL class a this coming up season.
Also, Bobo was a first team all conference cornerback in 2005.

Miami has now offered and Fitz will visit Oxford January 12-14 and Temple January 19-21. West Virginia may offer Bobo as a Safety while Cincinnati may offer Bobo as a WR.

Fitz Bobo to Miami!
The 6-foot-4 1/2, 200-pound Bobo, who transferred to Duquesne as a junior after attending West Mifflin in 2003 and Waldorf (Md.) Westlake in ‘04, chose Miami over Cincinnati and Temple. West Virginia also was showing strong interest.
Fitz’s coach had this to say about Bobo:
"He had a fine year,” Duquesne coach Pat Monroe said. “He made big catches, big plays for us. He’s a very smooth and graceful athlete with very good hands. When you have an athlete with good hands who’s 6-foot-4 who can go up and catch the ball, that’s what coaches like about him."
