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.
