" ..... The four-star tight end from Council Bluffs (IA) Lewis Central just recently received a Texas offer, but he’s been talking with the staff for a while. Despite Texas entering the race late, Fidone said he has interest in the Longhorns.
“I’m very interested,” Fidone said. “Me and coach (Boulware) have been in contact for a while actually. I like how they would use me in the offense and yes, I’m far along but I am still open and looking to check out places to find the best fit for me.”
Fidone held over 30 offers before Texas entered the race. He said the offer from Texas stood out to him because of their tradition and coaching staff.
“It means a ton,” he said. “Texas has a great head coach and he’s won a lot of games in the first three years. They also have coach Boulware who also has a great track record.”
Texas tight ends coach Jay Boulware has been the coach in communication with Fidone. In their short time together, Fidone said he likes what he hears from Boulware.
“From the times we have talked, he seems like an awesome guy,” Fidone said. “He wants me as a big receiver. He has a good record with his previous players and develops them well.”
