An edge rusher who fought back from two torn ACLs to sign with the Browns, joining a roster that already includes his brother Spencer.
Logan Fano's college career was defined by injury as much as production, with two ACL tears interrupting stops at BYU and Utah. He signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent in May 2026, reuniting with his brother Spencer Fano, the Browns' left tackle, and continuing a family football legacy that includes four NFL-playing uncles.
Path to the league
Fano is from Spanish Fork, Utah, and was a four-star recruit at Timpview High School in Provo. He signed with BYU in 2022 but tore his ACL and missed the entire season before transferring to Utah. At Utah, he tore the same knee's ACL again in 2023 after just five games, forcing him to rebuild for a second time. He went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Cleveland Browns on May 8, 2026.
Career highlights
Fano returned from his second ACL tear to play a full 2024 season at Utah, appearing in 12 games with 9 starts and recording 35 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He capped his college career in 2025 by earning Second-team All-Big 12 honors. He is of Samoan descent and comes from an extensive football family: his brother Spencer Fano is a Browns offensive tackle, four uncles played in the NFL, and cousin Karene Reid plays linebacker for the Denver Broncos.
2025 season recap
In his final season at Utah, Fano started 11 games and produced 44 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss, earning Second-team All-Big 12 recognition. He went undrafted in April 2026 but signed with the Browns as a free agent the following month, drawing buzz in Cleveland's rookie camp as an undrafted prospect worth watching.
