Over the history of Rivals dating back to 2002, there have only been 10 five-star tight ends, an incredibly small number since there are usually 30 or more five-stars in each recruiting class. Today, we look back at some tight ends and point toward the future as well to name a potential five-star in this recruiting class.
...
There are two tight ends in the 2021 recruiting class who could be on the cusp of five-star status in Tennessee pledge Hudson Wolfe and Nebraska commit Thomas Fidone,. The Council Bluffs (Iowa) Lewis Central standout was impressive at The National Combine in San Antonio last winter and his athleticism, ability to stretch the field and playmaking ability separates him arguably from every other tight end in this group.
Farrell’s take: Fidone is the guy I’m looking at here who could be a five-star in our next rankings because of how he stretches the field and his hops. He reminds me of a thinner Kyle Rudolph.
