Fannin, the Canton McKinley High School and Bowling Green State University product, was taken with the No. 67 pick in April's draft. He becomes the third draft pick to have agreed to terms with the Browns, joining second-round pick (No. 33 overall) Carson Schwesinger and fourth-round pick (No. 126 overall) Dylan Sampson.
The Browns still have four draft picks still unsigned: first-round pick Mason Graham, second-round pick Quinshon Judkins, third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders. They can participate in the offseason program without a contract, but must be signed by the start of training camp in July.
Fannin comes into the league off one of the most impressive individual college seasons by a tight end in history. He led FBS Division I college football in receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,555), with 10 touchdowns.
A 2022 graduate of McKinley High School, Fannin was an All-Ohio safety for the Bulldogs as a senior. He converted to tight end at Bowling Green, where he had 80 career catches for 2,396 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Tipp's Jackson Davis has 2 TDs, Dayton falls to Cincinnati 20-14 in 3rd annual MVFCA-SWOFCA All-Star Game
CINCINNATI, Ohio (WDTN) – Tippecanoe's Jackson Davis hauled in 2 touchdowns in Dayton's 20-14 loss to Cincinnati during the third annual MVFCA-SWOFCA high school senior All-Star Game at Roger Bacon on Friday night. 'I'm super excited to be here with some great coaches and a bunch of great players from the Dayton area, just competing and going after. It's a great time. I have great teammates, so it just feels great to cap off my high school career with this game,' said Davis. The Queen City all-stars took an early 12-0 lead, but the Gem City answered right back. Greeneview quarterback Alex Horney hit the Red Devils' star wide receiver, Davis, on a slant across the middle for Dayton's first score of the game. After a crucial interception by Carlisle's Blake Lawson, Xenia quarterback Gavin McManus marched the Miami Valley down to the redzone and finished the drive with another passing strike to Davis for his second TD to put MVFCA ahead 14-12. But in the final moments of the second quarter, a costly pass interference penalty on the Gem City gives the Queen City a free untimed down and they capitalize with the go-ahead touchdown to take a 20-14 lead. After halftime, officials would call the game due to thunderstorms in the area, giving Cincinnati its second straight win over Dayton in this renewed rivalry to lead the series 2-1. The 2026 MVFCA-SWOFCA will return to the Dayton-area with the next host site TBD. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Goal drought: Tigers stumble, Swans finally fire at MCG
Sydney have strangled Richmond for a badly needed 44-point win, keeping the Tigers goal-less for more than a half at the MCG. The Swans' slogging 11.14 (80) to 4.12 (36) win in cold conditions on Saturday was only their third in 11 visits to the MCG, punctuated by two heavy grand final losses over the past three years. Sydney's record improves to 5-8, giving their season a glimmer of hope. After last weekend's last-quarter fadeout against GWS, Richmond started brightly and led by 12 points at quarter time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Swans (@sydneyswans) But the rebuilding Tigers did not kick a goal from 19 minutes in the first quarter until 22 minutes into the last - unofficially a club record. All-Australian defender Nick Blakey, derided this week by some in the media as one of the season's biggest disappointments, was outstanding with 34 disposals and eight inside 50s. Isaac Heeney starred in the midfield and James Jordon played his role to perfection as a defensive forward on in-form Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin, kicking three goals. Tigers onballer Dion Prestia was on fire in the first quarter with 13 possessions, but James Rowbottom then paid him more attention and he only had 21 for the game. Sydney ruckman Brodie Grundy also had a day out, beating Richmond captain Toby Nankervis in another crucial match-up for the Swans. Brodie Grundy keeps it alive and kicks a ripper 🔥#AFLTigersSwans — AFL (@AFL) June 7, 2025 The longer the game went, the more apparent was Nankervis's frustration. Coming off big losses to Melbourne - at the MCG - and Adelaide at home, the Swans were in big trouble early. Richmond had 10 of the first 12 inside 50s and it was 10-4 at quarter time, with the tackle count also a lopsided 11-6 in the Tigers' favour. But Sydney made the game a scrap at the start of the second term and Heeney kicked a goal at 13 minutes to give them the lead. The Swans led by 14 points at the main break and they kicked 10 unanswered goals until Seth Campbell put through his second late in the final term.
