2008 OUTLOOK
Very promising offensive line prospect who Tiger coaches believe has a bright future ... Had an impressive spring camp in which he split time working with both the number one and number two offensive lines, primarily at left tackle ... Begins fall drills listed No. 2 on the depth chart at left tackle, and with a strong camp, he could challenge for some significant playing time in 2008, despite his inexperience.

2007 SEASON
Spent his first year in the program working hard in practice and turned heads throughout the year for his solid play while gaining a redshirt.

HIGH SCHOOL
Ranked by Super Prep as the nation's No. 53 offensive tackle prospect, as well as the No. 76 overall prospect (any position) in the state of Florida ... Ranked by Rivals as the No. 85 overall prospect in the state of Florida (all positions) ... Also participated in track, where he was a state qualifier for 3 years ... High school coach - Dan Mancuso.

PERSONAL
Son of Jeff Fisher, who is a radio analyst for the University of South Florida football team ... Chose Mizzou over Florida, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina State and South Florida, among others ... Primary Mizzou recruiter - Dave Christensen.

Football Gets Rare Work Outside

04/17/2009 - Football

Two sessions of one-on-one routes between the WRs/DBs and some non-contact inside run followed the initial position drills. Today's practice focused more on the cerebral aspect of the game, such as picking up one's assignment and running through the whistle. There weren't any huge revelations from today's practice, as it was primarily non-contact. Practiced ended with a brief seven-on-seven session between the first team offense and defense.
