At Cornell: Fenton has seen time on special teams in his first two seasons and will continue to fight for a spot in the regular rotation in 2008. After spending his freshman season competing for the junior varsity squad, Fenton was a part of the travel squad as a sophomore. He brings solid blocking skills to the tight end position. An improving pass catcher, he has the toughness and football intelligence to play a role on the offense. He is enrolled in the School of Hotel Administration.

At Corona del Mar: A standout blocking tight end, Fenton was a first-team all-league pick as a senior at Corona del Mar HS. The two-sport standout earned the team’s Skeletor Award in each of his final seasons for most pancake blocks, including posting 24 as a senior captain. He was also named the school’s Academic Player of the Year and was chosen to compete in the North/South Orange County All-Star Game. Fenton caught six passes for 54 yards and two scores as a senior and had two catches for 22 yards and a touchdown as a junior. The team captain also served as the squad’s long-snapper in his final three campaigns. A three-year state qualifier in the discus during track and field season, Fenton was the team’s most valuable thrower as a junior and senior.

Personal: Avery Scott Fenton is the son of Robert and Janice Fenton. His late brother, Sean, played football at Yale.
