Fidone was a four-star recruit coming out of Council Bluffs Lewis Central & enrolled early this spring.
Saturday's spring game starts at 1 p.m. on BTN. Frost said the 1st half will primarily be veteran players doing 'thud' tackling (not all the way to the ground) while the 2nd half would be mostly younger players with full live tackling.
