Notre Dame OT commit Fisher gets his 5th Star

The huge offensive tackle has moved up in Rivals rankings and was awarded a 5th start his morning.

The Irish scored a huge recruiting win when the best prospect in Indiana, offensive tackle Blake Fisher, decided to stay home and play football in South Bend. Fisher has been at the cusp of adding one more star next to his name and this morning that became a reality.

The designation for Fisher is a huge accomplishment. Rivals only has twenty total 5-Star prospects in the 2021 class and the mammoth tackle checks in as the 19th overall play in the nation. The 6-foot-6-inch and 330-pound lineman will arrive with extremely high expectations. There will be an opportunity for Fisher to contribute his freshman year as the offensive line will lose multiple players to graduation. Fisher is the highest ranked offensive line commit for the Irish since Tommy Kraemer signed in 2016.

Fisher could very well start his career at guard, as he has shown positional versatility which could help him get on the field very quickly. That will depend on how offensive line coach Jeff Quinn feels he fits best, but I’m sure that Quinn is just happy that Fisher will be wearing the Blue and Gold next year. We are all excited about Fisher’s potential, a well deserved congratulations to one of the best players, not just lineman, in the country.
