has been a top-tier player for the Huskies for two years now and will return as their top offensive weapon this season. He’s a versatile player who’s as effective a pass catcher as he is running the ball. That versatility makes Fisher a difficult task for defenses to prepare for and contain. He’s a smart football player who has developed his game well and should see increased college interest this fall.

to receive his first offer, and Concord was the first to pull the trigger after a solid showing at their prospect camp on Friday. He’s been a very good player for the Huskies the past two seasons as one of the better prospects in the 2026 class in our eyes. Fisher is a versatile athlete who could play RB or Slot at the next level with DB potential, too. His background as a receiver before transitioning to primarily running back gave him a great advantage during 1-on-1s, matching up with linebackers in the slot. Fisher is very comfortable as a pass catcher with developed route running ability and reliable hands.
After a great camp and conversation with @CoachDylanQuick I am blessed to receive my 1st offer from Concord University! @jfields50 @PullUpNRek304 @PrepRedzoneWV pic.twitter.com/thSmEJj4O1

. Fisher began his career as primarily a receiver but has transitioned to a versatile running back for the Huskies who can still line up in the slot as a traditional receiver. He totaled over 1,700 yards and 26 touchdowns as a junior for the state runner-up Huskies last season with 762 of those yards and 5 touchdowns coming in the passing game. Fisher is a talented route runner who can do so out of the backfield or as a receiver and can be utilized in a variety of ways in their offense. He could very well end up playing in the slot at the next level as a natural pass catcher.

was a large part of their big win as he was an efficient 10 carries for 103 yards and 2 touchdowns in the close contest. They’ll work to get him the ball in the passing game more in future games where he may be even more natural, but Fisher showed last season how dynamic he can be in the running game where it’ll be difficult to move him from. He was very elusive during the game often making the first and second attempted tackler miss and having the speed and quickness to create chunk plays once he got loose.
