Spencer Fano’s draft night turned into an unforgettable celebration, with his fiancée getting a front-row seat to all the excitement.
The moment the Cleveland Browns informed the Utah offensive lineman of his selection as the No. 9 pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft, Fano erupted with enthusiasm.
Opting for a more personal celebration, the 21-year-old held a draft night party at home instead of attending the official event in Pittsburgh. Overcome with joy, he shouted “let’s go” and jumped onto the couch.
Amidst the cheers, Fano stomped around the furniture, exchanging high-fives with friends and family, while his fiancée, Sami, watched from just a few feet away.
With quick reflexes, Sami stepped aside but soon rejoined the joyful scene, sharing in the excitement with her 6-foot-6, 311-pound fiancé.
Sami and Fano got engaged just recently, and in an Instagram post on March 31, they seemed to indicate their wedding would occur in July.
Fano will start his NFL career just weeks after that, and should have a real chance at earning a starting spot on Cleveland’s offensive line.
Fano played right tackle throughout the entirety of the Utes’ 2025 season, though his arm length (32 1/8 inches) had draft pundits wondering if he’d need to switch positions once he got to the NFL.
Fano, though, told NFL Network at the scouting combine earlier this year he would have no problems moving.
“If you want me to play center, I’ll play center,” Fano said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to be great in this league.”
