James Fisher wasn’t announced as a top performer at the camp, which was an error on our part as well as the coaches in attendance. Numbers and words get mixed up towards the end of these events, I had my fair share of looks at the backs, Fisher was moving just as well as Wimberly. 9’0″ broad jump, 4.78 40, a solid number, one I know he can improve on. Glad the young man came through.

I’ve already begun sending Fisher’s tape to coaches I’m close with, with good results. Going to need his grades and weight room numbers to stay at a high level. Have a good feeling they will. Fisher stands as the eighth highest-ranking prospect on our lists currently un-offered.

Here is my recent evaluation of James Fisher.

 rn

Read and reacts skills are equivalent if not better than any CB in his class. Great communicator, can bounce between curl/flat zones. Is a tone-setting tackler, one who sparks the sideline and deflates both his target and the opposing sideline. His understanding of route concepts is second to none. No doubt this kid could play any DB position at the HS level. No problem ranking him inside the top 100 based on his defensive reps alone.Offensively, a weapon that can do damage and break a game open from the backfield both as a pass-catcher and runner. Has the stride that has him gliding through defenses like he isn’t breaking a sweat. I haven’t looked, but I can almost guarantee this kid runs track and a high level based on how he out-strides defensive angles with ease. Shows good pacing and vision at the handoff, hits the hole like he’s shot out of a cannon. Incredible knowledge of gap schemes, witnessed setting up his blocks not only in the open field, but also between the tackles with said pacing. The hands he possesses is just icing on the cake. Bit of a chester, but has reps skying for balls thrown his way downfield. Plugging on his tape had me reaching out to coaches almost immediately.
