Notre Dame Commit Blake Fisher Has Another Great Visit
Avon (Ind.) class of 2021 offensive tackle Blake Fisher committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in June, and he returned to South Bend for the first time since his pledge when ND hosted New Mexico on Sept. 14
"It was good to be back home and felt great seeing all of the coaches again," Fisher told Blue & Gold Illustrated. "I'm 100 percent confident in my decision. I love it there. I felt welcomed by the fans and players before the game. From the time I got there to the time I left, it was all unconditional love."

The main highlights for the nation's No. 4 offensive tackle and No. 17 overall recruit was, well, every part of the visit.
"Everything," Fisher said. "Seeing Coach Kelly, Coach Quinn, Coach Long, Coach Taylor, Coach Elston -- all of them. It's like family there. It's like going home and seeing family."
Those who follow Notre Dame football recruiting know that Fisher is very active in trying to get other prospects to follow him to Notre Dame. During the New Mexico game visit, Fisher chatted with Aurora (Colo.) Cherokee Trail 2021 tight end Sam Hart, a four-star recruit who holds an offer from the Irish.
"I was telling him that Notre Dame would be the best place for him," Fisher said. "He told me what he was looking for and some of the schools he was looking at. We talked about it and we'll see where it goes.
"I would love to block for him. He's a great dude. I watched his film and Cane Berrong's, who is already committed in our class. Getting two of the top tight ends in the 2021 class would be great."
While it was a blowout victory against a subpar opponent, the atmosphere inside Notre Dame stadium was electric.
"It was hyped," Fisher said. "People were yelling my name. It was pretty wild. It was a packed house like always. It was amazing. I can't wait to be back. I'll for sure be back for the USC game. I can't wait."
The 6-foot-6, 330-pounder ranks as the top recruit in the state of Indiana for the 2021 class. He picked Notre Dame over the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and many others.
