Browns rookie left tackle Spencer Fano is about to get a blast from the past, and it is going to be a tough one. The young lineman is set to face New York Jets edge rusher David Bailey in their next game, a familiar foe from his college days.
A Rivalry Forged in the Big 12
This isn’t just some random matchup for Fano. He actually went head-to-head with Bailey back in the 2025 season. Fano was at the University of Utah while Bailey was tearing it up for Texas Tech University, both in the Big 12 Conference. They got plenty of reps against each other.
Fano himself spilled the beans on how those college battles went down. He told the Beacon Journal on October 8, “In general, I thought I did pretty good. But yeah, obviously, there was a lot of give and take. I thought I won my reps, he won his reps.” Sounds like a true grind, right? This isn’t just a new challenge for Fano, it is a rematch with some real history behind it.
With both players knowing each other’s game, this individual battle could be a serious one to watch. Will Fano win the reps this time around, or will Bailey get the edge? We will see how it shakes out in the next game.
