Tight End University is back for a fifth year in 2025, and another summer session brings further growth in partnerships and programming for Travis Kelce and company.
The latest edition of TEU was announced on Monday, with this year's event scheduled for June 23-26. It will once again be held at Vanderbilt University.
If you've missed out on Tight End University in the past, it's basically all in the name. Originally founded by star tight ends Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers, and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, the goal was to gather TEs from across the NFL to learn from one another and "advance" the position.
It's the fifth year of Tight End University, which is growing in unexpected new ways.
The event began with Kittle in the center of it all, as he invited other tight ends to join him near his offseason home in Nashville to train together. By the second year, more than 80 tight ends were carving out the space to join him and Kelce.
As Tight End University has grown over the years in notoriety, it has also launched its own merch store and has added entertainment and charitable aspects to the weekend. This year, TEU is linking sponsors with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee for in-person meet-and-greets and monetary support. A golf tournament and concert is also being planned, although details were not immediately av
“Our goal with TEU has always been to create a space where tight ends can come together, share knowledge, and elevate each other,” said TEU co-founder Greg Olsen, via a press release. “Being able to spread knowledge and pick the brains of those who do it at the highest level every Sunday, while helping to evolve the position to what it has become today, is truly something we take great pride in.”
