Junior entry, three-year starter. Fisher arrived at South Bend and won the starting left tackle job right away. An injury week one was thought to shelf him for the rest of the season, but he returned to the starting lineup for the Fiesta Bowl at right tackle, as fellow draft prospect Joe Alt took over the blind side job midway through the year. Fisher went on to start the next two seasons, opposite Alt. He has the pro body and athleticism with heavy, dense contact to promote the idea of being a quality starter at the next level. There is a lot to like when examining his ability to move defenders in the run game and control a pass rusher on the move. His lack of consistency stems from poor technique and initial losses, which are very correctable. He has youth on his side and if he does not develop to his potential, he still projects to a quality swing-role. Well-developed frame packed with power. Explosive north-south mover that will create movement off the line in the running game. Can knock a defender off his track and maintain strong grip and hand positioning. Heavy contact with a finisher’s mentality. Does not show enough lateral quickness in pass protection. Tends to overset and struggles to re-balance to gather himself. Body control is inconsistent. Too often finds himself with poor outside hand placement, making his outside shoulder soft and easy to get through. First two steps need more consistency. Fisher has everything in place to be a better player than what he has shown on tape on a play-to-play basis but will need time and good coaching to fix the warts in his techniques.
