Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Fish is a high upside prospect with the frame and length to develop into a multi-year starter across the defensive line in the Big Sky conference. He is very technically sound, has strong hands/good bend for his size and is a high motor kid that quickly gets knock-back and controls the line of scrimmage. He shows he can redirect flat, and rush the passer from either the edge or inside. Due to his frame and build, he might be kicking inside at the next level depending on scheme and should be an early contributor for one of the top programs in the FCS.

Fish was the top defensive lineman in the state of Idaho for a reason and it was easy to see on film. A complete defensive end that really can anchor the edge and then get after the passer. He is going to be a name to watch at the next level.
He is signed with the University of Idaho.

Fish is a dominant player regardless of what position he is playing. The Idaho Vandal commit is going to be a monster at the next level because of his motor and ability to never give up on a play. Strong at the point of attack and ability to really bend around the edge.

Fish has been a constant in the backfield all season as one of the top players in the entire state. He comes in second in the rankings as he has 10 sacks on the season. Fish has excellent technique with his ability to hand fight, turn speed to power and really bend around the edge. His ability to get to the quarterback is just one part of what makes him the top-rated defensive lineman in the state.

Fish is showing why he rated as the top lineman in the state with his 4.5 sacks on the season. A player that uses his quickness to his advantage but where he is special is turning speed into power. After a quick first step Fish is able to convert that speed to power with a great bull rush and leverage. His arm over is deadly and then has the ability to really run down the opposing quarterback.

Fish is another prospect that had a very productive off-season and turned plenty of heads of various camps and showcases that he attended against the regions top talent. He checks into our rankings as the number one defensive linemen in his class, and the number four overall prospect across Idaho.
He has great length for the defensive line position and knows how to use it while showing violent hands at the point of attack and natural bend around the edge, especially for someone his size. Fish holds offers from Montana State, Idaho State and Idaho but ultimately committed to the in state Vandals in the beginning of June. Fish has plenty of growth potential due to his length, and should be able to pack on more weight through out his college career. Look for Fish to be atop the sack records after this season and be a dominating presence on the capital defense.

Fish has FBS capabilities and is a big time steal for the Vandals, with elite upside due to his growth potential and already is a well put together prospect with some good tools at his disposal. Fish does a tremendous job at using his length, sudden twitch and explosion to create immediate knock-back, and moves well for his size while playing violent. Fish had a huge off-season this Spring, and dominated multiple camps he attended against top competition and is a no brainer to be our top defensive linemen in the current rankings. Fish held offers from Idaho State and Montana State before committing to the Vandals, and he should have a very successful college career in the Big Sky Conference.

Fish has had a monster off season showing of his much improved pass rushing skills and make strides to implement more tools in his tool box. He is a big time prospect at defensive end where he uses his length and natural strength to really create havoc on opponents. With his improved rush techniques he will be hard to keep off the quarterback this season. Has the ability to really play inside or outside at the next level with a frame that could hold really good weight. Strong at the point of attack and sets the edge really well. It will help him when he only has to play one side of the football in college where he has a chance to really shine.
