Gardner-Webb linebacker Talon Fisher brings QB-built athleticism and proven playmaking
Fisher is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker at Gardner-Webb who brings uncommon athleticism and a proven knack for making plays, including 7 tackles and a forced fumble in 2025. His background as a high-volume dual-threat quarterback shows up in his speed, field vision, and competitive edge, which can translate well to downhill pursuit and open-field tackling. He’s a fit for teams that value movement skills and upside at linebacker, though his college résumé is still early, so his long-term role will depend on how quickly he grows into the position.[1][10][13][14]
