Fisher played for the Wildcats from 2017-20 and had his 2 best seasons as a freshman and sophomore. For the former season (2017), Fisher finished with 111 total tackles (65 solo) with 1 interception, 3 passes defended, and 4 forced fumbles.
In the latter season (2018), Fisher finished with 116 total tackles (63 solo) with 1 interception, 2 passes defended, and 4 forced fumbles.
He was always a menace to go up against for an opposing team and we’ll have to see if he’s called up to the 53-man roster for LA’s game this Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Kickoff will be at 4:05 p.m. ET.
