On June 8, 2026, Tight End University and Sports Illustrated officially announced the return of the summit for its sixth year, featuring a historic public practice at Vanderbilt Stadium.
On The Pat McAfee Show, host Pat McAfee celebrated the announcement, introducing co-founder George Kittle as "human caffeine" and praising the incredible vibes surrounding the event's return.
While some might wonder if opening the doors to fans changes the instructional nature of the camp, McAfee is fully bought into the hype of bringing Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen together for a "public practice, Vanderbilt" experience.
As Tight End University heads to Tennessee, the addition of a public showcase solidifies its evolution from an exclusive player-led workshop into a major event on the NFL off-season calendar.
