Rodrick Fisher, Washington State’s newest commitment in the 2018 recruiting class, has the kind of personal story that Hollywood makes movies about.
According to the Spokesman-Review, Fisher, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound receiver from Spokane’s East Valley High, dropped out of high school a month into his sophomore year. Fisher does not know where his father is, and he moved away from his mother because “difficulties were severe” he told the Spokesman-Review’s Greg Lee in this story from last October.
Thereafter, Fisher, whose birth name is Rodrick Jackson, bounced around, living with several families. He was homeless at one point too, and his predicament ultimately led him to the office of East Valley football coach Adam Fisher.
