Thomas Fidone II, the country's top tight end recruit in 2021, knows a thing or two about receiving offers from major programs. And they haven't stopped.
Tight End University was the latest one to come calling, and for anyone who plays the position, it can't be refused. The rookie, along with Giants teammates Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz, recently attended the three-day summit in Nashville to bond, collaborate and learn from their peers.
Fidone caught up with KETV's Matt Sottile in the tight end's hometown of Council Bluffs, Iowa, to talk about his time at Tight End University, where the 219th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft drew some praise from one of its deans and future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce.
"I got some pretty cool compliments from Kelce just out of the blue, which was pretty cool," the University of Nebraska product said on Omaha's KETV. "He told me I was extremely athletic and moved extremely well. He told me that my top of routes were really good. He didn't say it like that, but he said it, so just being able to hear that from him was cool. I thought it was awesome being able to just connect and make connections with all the guys around there."
