2009 Outlook
Redshirt freshman Sean Fisher is one of several young standouts in the Nebraska linebacker corps expected to make an impact in 2009. The Omaha native finished spring ball as one of the leading candidates to emerge as the starting Buck linebacker for the Huskers in 2009. The 6-6, 230-pound Fisher played in the secondary in high school and brings versatility to the NU defense with the ability to defend both the run and pass.
Fisher saw action in one game in 2008, before being sidelined with a shoulder injury. He was subsequently rewarded a medical hardship from the Big 12 Conference and has four seasons of eligibility remaining. Fisher carries a perfect 4.0 grade-point average after his initial year at Nebraska.
2008 (Redshirt)
Fisher appeared on special teams in the opener against Western Michigan, however a shoulder injury sidelined him from game action for the remainder of the year. He received a medical hardship.
Before Nebraska (Millard North HS)
Linebacker Sean Fisher was one of the first players to commit to the 2008 Husker class, announcing his college choice in June of 2007. Fisher was a standout two-way performer at Class A powerhouse Millard North, starring in the secondary and at running back, while also handling punting chores and returning kicks.
Fisher led Coach Fred Petito’s team to the Class A state championship game in 2007. On offense, Fisher rushed for 646 yards, including 198 yards on 44 carries in the state title game. Defensively, Fisher played in the secondary and made 68 total tackles, including 43 unassisted stops, and added three tackles for loss and an interception.
For his performance, Fisher was named an honorary captain of both the Omaha World-Herald’s All-Nebraska team and the Lincoln Journal Star’s Super-State squad. Fisher also earned all-state honors from both papers as a junior when he made 92 tackles and had three interceptions, helping the Mustangs to the state semifinals.
Fisher was also a key player for Millard North during his sophomore season, when the school captured the Class A state title.
Fisher was named a SuperPrep All-American and was listed among the nation’s top 25 linebackers by SuperPrep, ESPN.com and Scout.com. He was widely regarded as one of the top five players in Nebraska by all recruiting services.
Fisher chose Nebraska over Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Arizona State among others.
