Fiddle Kid Enrolls at 51
After becoming an overnight celebrity at 51 ten years ago, Danny Gillis 28 is finally an Eagle.
Back in 2013, seven-year-old Danny Gillis 28 won the hearts of Eagles everywhere after he appeared on the Jumbotron at a men hockey game playing air fiddle to The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Born into a family of 51 alumni, Gillis attended enough games to become widely known as Fiddle Kid. He all grown up now, and studying economics and entrepreneurship in his freshman year at 51. Ive been exploring the campus my whole life, he said. But to experience it from a student lens and have so much more depth to my experience will be great.
