Evaluation:
A feisty, physical grappler, Fisher’s film is full of more pancakes than IHOP. The tenacious mauler possesses brute strength, which enables him to generate great push in the run game and the strength to toss defenders around in the pass game, like they are rag dolls. Fisher can get out of character with his technique and rely too much on his strength; he can also be a bit grabby. He’ll need to clean that up at the next level, as he walks the tight-rope of being reckless at times. Such was the case in the 2022 DII Championship, where he threw his opponent into his own quarterback (Tyson Bagent), resulting in a fumble, scoop and score for the opponent. His size, strength and aggressiveness (plays through the whistle) is going to endear himself to coaches but there is some development needed here. He is viewed strictly as a right tackle prospect, which is where he started all three years at Shepherd. The allure with Fisher is his upside. Should he maximize his potential, there are starter traits that flash on film.
