"My visit went really well and I liked seeing the facility’s and the game day environment," Fisher told BeaversEdge.
The Beavers looking to add to their defensive line class began to track Fisher heavily at the beginning of this fall and as the Cypress, Texas native's senior season progressed, the Beavers were impressed enough to offer Fisher and schedule last week's offiical visit.
During his official visit, Fisher was able to spend time with defensive coordinator Keith Heyward and learn more about the Beavers defense.
"I like that Coach Hayward mixes things up," Fisher said. "Sometimes it’s 4-2-5, sometimes 3-4, I like the aggressive approach. I see myself fitting into the Oregon State defense pretty well and I see myself playing the three or even a hybrid my first year or two," he added.
He also got to spend time with the Beavers recruiting team including Josh Patterson and J.R. Moala as well as defensive line coach Ilasi Tuiaki. "They’re great," he said about his interactions with each member of the coaching. "I spent the most time with coach Tuiaki. We’re going to have a good time breaking down offensive lines."
But what made Corvallis and Oregon State the right spot for him ultimately?
"The expertise of the coaches and their devotion to the team," Fisher said. "Coach Bray and several of the staff have grown up in Corvallis and are devoted to the program. The unity within the football program, players and community as a whole. It just felt like home."
Fisher is the 15th commitment in Oregon State's 2025 recruiting class and joins Santa Rosa, California native as defensive linemen committed to the Beavers.
