Eric the Red Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Player: Sean Fisher Hometown: Omaha, NE Position: FS/OLB Height: 6’4” Weight: 200 40 time: 4.8 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska Favorites: Signed with Nebraska Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Bid Red Report: Assessing the talent: From the Omaha World-Herald: "Fisher, a prospect for 2008, received his first offer Monday after Millard North coach Fred Petito sent film of two games to Nebraska. "It kind of came out of nowhere," Petito said. "We didn't feel like it was going to happen this early, but evidently that tape was good enough." Fisher, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound free safety, could also project as an outside linebacker in college. His father, Todd Fisher, lettered at Nebraska as a cornerback in 1983. Sean Fisher is the fifth junior from Nebraska to earn an NU offer. Lineman Baker Steinkuhler of Lincoln Southwest and running back Collins Okafor of Omaha Westside have already committed. Lineman Trevor Robinson of Elkhorn and running back Ronnell Grixby of Omaha Central are considering offers. "I'm just real excited," said Sean Fisher, a first-team All-Nebraska defender as a junior. "I've grown up watching Nebraska, but I'm not in a hurry to rush into anything." Fisher said he's also received strong interest from Iowa." Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 100% With him in our backyard and his dad a former player, I like our odds. Link to comment
gamecocks Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I like his size. Maybe start him at safety and move him to linebacker after he hits the weight room a little bit. Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Petito has a record of sending kids to Iowa though.... I dont think he likes the way the whole Solich thing was handled. We have had a tough time getting M North kids to come here since then. Link to comment

His dad played at NU and has seen all this transpired Link to comment
Spartness Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 So this is the Fisher family that goes way back to Pat Fisher, who played in the NFL? Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Nice height and size for a safety!!! Link to comment
husker rob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 they are all related. Ken Fischer coached at GI High, Pat Coached 1 year at Hastings before bolting for a High School in Texas Link to comment
Always a husker Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 He could be the real deal with his height. Link to comment

husker rob Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 to be honest i think that Pat and Ken last name is spelled Fisher, i will have to check it out Link to comment
husker rob Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I stand corrected Pat and Ken last name is spelled Fischer, so I doubt that they are related to Sean Fisher. Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 wow, don't think i have ever heard of a 6'5" safety?...may actually be too tall to turn and move with speedy wideouts.......but may work well as a safety, can't see him as a cornerback, but he may be able to move well even carrying that height..sounds like he would fit in nicely somewhere though...intriguing recruit Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Taylor Mays, who starts as a true freshman at safety for USC, and who we recruited heavily is 6'4'' Link to comment
