A two-way player in high school, Fair played on both the offensive and defensive lines at Firestone High in Akron, Ohio. A three-star prospect, Fair received offers from Ohio and Temple, choosing to join the Owls and play offensive line.
Fair took a redshirt year in his first season at Temple. During spring camp ahead of his redshirt freshman season, Fair entrenched himself as a starter along the offensive line at the left guard spot. He’d be a starter at left guard for four-straight seasons. He eventually earned the highest honor a player can receive at Temple, being awarded a single-digit jersey number in 2019. That signifies that he’s one of the toughest players on the team and someone who leads by example.

Fit with the Chiefs:
Fair had interest from nearly a dozen teams after the draft. The Super Bowl champions were appealing because of the winning culture and how they stayed in touch with him throughout the process. The Chiefs first took interest in him during the course of his career at Temple. That interest intensified after the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, where Fair had a standout performance against some top competition.
As a left guard, Fair has plus movement skills, he has strong hands and he’s physical at the point of attack. One thing that coaches will like about him is that he always keeps his head on a swivel and is looking for work. That type of mentality will take him far in the NFL.
You can never have enough depth along the offensive line if you’re the Kansas City Chiefs. While Fair has a ton of experience playing the left guard position, I think he might be a hair too small to play there in the NFL. He’d be a better fit at the center position in the Chiefs’ system. The team has told him that they’re interested in trying him at all three of the interior positions and they’ll just figure out which one is his best spot during the course of training camp.
