Prior to his time in Raleigh, Fagan played at American Heritage High in Florida, starring in the secondary for the Patriots for three seasons. As a senior, he racked up 78 tackles, three interceptions, 11 pass breakups and two fumble recoveries. He helped American Heritage win the 5A state championship as a sophomore.

A consensus four-star prospect, Fagan was ranked as high as the No. 13 safety in the country and the No. 38 player in Florida.
