Johnsburg?s Fiedorowicz chosen to be part of TV show

Even for someone who seemingly lives in the athletic spotlight, C.J. Fiedorowicz admits this spring has become overwhelming.

?It?s stressful,? said the Johnsburg junior, one of the most highly recruited football players in Illinois. ?I?m trying not to get a big head from it.?

Fiedorowicz is hounded daily by college football coaches urging the 6-foot-6, 248-pound tight end to play for their school. On Wednesday, Fiedorowicz experienced a different spotlight when a Game Day Productions crew visited Johnsburg High School to film a feature on him that will appear on ?Sports Stars of Tomorrow? in the fall.

Announcer Pat Summerall hosts the show.

?It?s pretty good,? Fiedorowicz said. ?It definitely gives me a lot of motivation to work harder. I didn?t realize I was one of the top players in the nation.?

Last week, Fiedorowicz reportedly told bucknuts.com, an Ohio State fan Web site, that Iowa and Ohio State were his top two choices. He said Wednesday he actually has a top four comprised of Iowa, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Fiedorowicz played wide receiver for three years, but projects as a tight end in college.

?I may make my decision over the summer,? Fiedorowicz said. ?I?d like to try to decide before [the high school season].?

Fiedorowicz plans to make another visit to Wisconsin sometime this spring and also plans to revisit Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 12 for the USC-Ohio State game. If he has committed elsewhere, he would not attend that game.

Very surprised there is no offer out to C.J. I thought maybe we weren't offering Smith to go for C.J. but maybe not. I thought we would take a TE for sure this year and there isn't a better one that we have a shot at than C.J. at this point, which is why this is puzzling.

Irish make bid for tight end

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Posted by Bill Kurelic

Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz (Johnsburg, Ill.) has 18 scholarship offers on the table. He hasn't received any new offers in the past couple of weeks, but he has made a change at the top of his list. Previously Ohio State and Iowa shared his top spot.

"Notre Dame, Iowa and Ohio State, those are my three favorites," Fiedorowicz said. "I would say Iowa is recruiting me the hardest right now. Then probably Notre Dame and Ohio State."

Irish assistant coach Rob Ianello stopped by Johnsburg High School on Monday. The previous Monday, coaches from Ohio State, Iowa, LSU, Wisconsin and Purdue stopped to check on Fiedorowicz.

The 6-foot-7, 240-pound football and basketball star caught 63 passes for 1,072 yards and 15 touchdowns during his sophomore season. He caught 49 passes for 809 yards and 11 touchdowns his junior season.

Fiedorowicz plans to take all five official visits. He said Notre Dame, Iowa and Ohio State will be three of his trips.

"I'll find two others," Fiedorowicz said.
