Iowa’s relentless walk-on linebacker with special-teams grit
Kyler Fisher was a dependable, high-effort linebacker for Iowa, earning first-team Leo duties in 2024 and building his reputation on toughness, special teams value, and steady run support rather than flashy splash plays. In his Hawkeye career, he appeared in 58 games and finished with 64 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack, two forced fumbles, and two passes defended, which fits Iowa’s blue-collar defensive identity. He’s the kind of player coaches trust: physical, assignment-sound, and willing to do the dirty work.
