2021 PROJECTION

True freshman offensive lineman seldom see the field for Notre Dame, but with Fisher's brute strength and athleticism, he could see time at guard in 2021 before moving over to tackle for the rest of his career.

QUOTABLE

“I’m going to come in and give everything I’ve got. I want to be one of those great Indiana players for Notre Dame. I want to make a difference from day one.” - Fisher

EXPERT TAKE

“Fisher has always been impressively athletic for his size, but there was a concern he could get too big and lose his mobility. This summer, however, Fisher emerged from the spring lockdown in the best shape we have ever seen him. He was leaner and quicker but still a dominant, physical force.” - Rivals midwest recruiting analyst Josh Helmholdt
