COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA -- Thomas Fidone got a good feel for what life on the field is like as the top-rated high school tight end in the country on Friday night.
The freshly minted Nebraska verbal commit wasted no time hauling in a 41-yard, first-quarter touchdown. Then he had to essentially settle for making his presence count in other ways.
Fidone, listed at 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, got free on an early third-and-9 over the middle and then ran away from, and also through, the St. Albert defense on his way to the end zone.
