As we near the end of the “Coach ’em Up” series, we preview new defensive back coaches Brandon Fisher, Jeff Fisher’s son, and Dennard Wilson.
The former was a standout linebacker at Montana, tallying 169 career tackles in 54 games (30 starts), but remained a standout in the classroom: Fisher was named to the All-District 7 academic team with a 3.9 GPA as well the as FCS Athletic Director Association’s Academic All-Star team. He was also a three-time all-league academic team selection.
Following his playing career, Fisher was a defensive assistant with the Detroit Lions in 2011 before joining the Rams in 2012 as a secondary assistant.
