In the 2024 NFL season, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle once again demonstrated why he is among the league’s elite at his position.
Over 15 games, Kittle hauled in 78 passes for 1,106 yards and scored eight touchdowns, marking his fourth career 1,000-yard season and his second in back-to-back years.
Off the field, his impact has been equally as strong, thanks in part to his annual Tight End University (TEU), which was co-founded in 2021 by Kittle, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and former Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen.
On Thursday, George's wife, Claire Kittle, shared on her Instagram story a post originally published by Brooklyn Bowl Nashville highlighting that the "Tight Ends & Friends" would return on June 24, featuring all-new special surprise guests.

Now in its fifth year, TEU brings together current and aspiring tight ends for a four-day immersive program held June 23-26 on Vanderbilt University’s campus in Nashville.
Attendees benefit from film study sessions, on-field drills, recovery and rehabilitation workshops, and guest appearances from NFL veterans and coaches.
In addition to its core football curriculum, this year’s TEU has expanded its roster of entertainment and charitable initiatives.

Among these additions are a charity golf tournament and the flagship “Tight Ends & Friends” concert on June 24 at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.
Proceeds from the concert are earmarked for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee.
Having met at the University of Iowa and married since 2019, Claire celebrates, supports and is directly involved with many of George's endeveors off the field, including TEU.
