When Brian Kelly left for LSU and Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick mentioned that it wasn’t coaches that made the program, it was the players, it really stuck with me. Well, today, Notre Dame offensive tackle Blake Fisher posted a picture on Twitter that backed up Swarbrick’s comments.
The players who shine on Saturday’s have an opportunity to make a massive impact on the community, which is what Fisher has done and will continue to do. Giving back is in his nature, something that he has done since his high school days. That’s exactly what Fisher did today, heading off to a local YMCA and meeting some of the aftercare students.
Meet my friend McKenzie, she’s one of the individuals I met today at the YMCA aftercare! Kind, funny and as cool as can be!! 😁 pic.twitter.com/DJ5yhcJ909

Not only is Fisher a future star on the field, but he is already a star off it. This is exactly what you want to see from any Irish student-athlete.
