POSITIVES

— Very good arm length with stiff, heavy hands to jar, press and keep defenders at his fingertips.

— Has the initial quickness and burst to reach his landmarks in the pass and run game.

— Mixes up his sets with active, light independent hands to keep rushers guessing and disrupt their plan.

— Well-versed run-blocker with experience executing a variety of concepts.

NEGATIVES

— Not very adept or fluid at resetting, refitting and recovering once edged.

— Will get caught on his heels and pressed into the pocket against the forklift technique and speed-to-power moves due to high, late hand placement.

— Benched against Louisville after oversetting, two-hand striking and getting beat clean inside for a strip sack.

OVERALL

Blake Fisher is a two-year starter at right tackle inside Notre Dame's 55-45 run-pass split, zone-based offense. Fisher is built like a power forward with a long-limbed, high-cut frame and build with good athletic ability and play strength.

Fisher wins as a run-blocker using stiff, heavy hands and very good arm length to establish first meaningful contact, dent and feed his target over as the drive man on double-teams and angle-drive blocks. He does a nice job in the second phase of the block to "step on the toes" and get his hips through defenders with good strain and steering ability to stay attached through shed attempts to secure rush lanes off his backside.

Fisher has good quicks and burst to close space on his climbs with overwhelming power to erase backers once latched. He does have an upright play style that can get him outleveraged on contact when his initial strike is off-target, causing him to struggle to regain leverage in time against slippery run defenders.

In pass protection, Fisher is fluid and quick out of his stance into his signature 45-degree set while mixing in vertical and flat, aggressive sets depending on the concept and alignment. He works independent hands to evade and disrupt the rusher's plan, has the length and strength to keep them at his fingertips, and has the redirect ability to stay attached and cut off inside counters. However, he's sometimes late resetting his hands once his initial approach goes awry, which causes his feet to get stuck, the corner to shorten and him to lose cleanly at the top of the drop.

Overall, Fisher is a young, long and powerful blocker with good athletic ability who can be an asset in the zone run game at tackle. He has more of a boom-or-bust element to his game as a pass protector that will require a plan for development before becoming a consistent starter, but he has the runway and traits for that to happen within his rookie contract.
