During his time in Happy Valley, Fisher played in 35 games, starting in the 11 games he was available in for the 2025 season. He finished his career with 41 tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, 5.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.
Fisher missed all of the 2024 season with an injury he picked up during spring camp. This was the second significant injury the defensive end dealt with while with Penn State. He was also sidelined for much of the 2022 season. While the 2024 injury was never disclosed, it was a knee injury in 2022.
It is unclear if Fisher will be granted any more eligibility.
