The Cleveland Browns have made a bold move to reunite the Fano brothers in Cleveland. After selecting Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano with the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the team signed his brother, Utah pass rusher Logan Fano, as an undrafted free agent, according to cleveland.com.
The Fano brothers spent the last three years playing together at the University of Utah and will now have the opportunity to continue their football careers together in Cleveland, at least during the offseason. However, Logan faces an uphill battle to secure a spot on the Browns' active roster.
On Friday, Spencer traveled to Cleveland to be introduced at the Browns' facility. Meanwhile, the rest of the Fano family remained in Utah, hoping to hear Logan's name called during the draft. Though he went undrafted, the Browns called shortly after the draft, offering Logan a chance to join his brother in the NFL.
Logan Fano, who will turn 24 in June, is two and a half years older than Spencer. His college football career spanned five years, with two of those seasons lost due to torn ACLs.
The Fano brothers come from a football-rich family. Their cousin, Karene Reid, currently plays for the Denver Broncos. Additionally, the brothers have four uncles who played in the NFL, further cementing their athletic legacy.
