Florida gets commitment from 3-star OT who was previously headed to ACC
Published:
Florida took a big step in building up its offensive line starting next season by getting a commitment on Thursday afternoon from 3-star offensive tackle Moreno Fisher.
The Cornelius, N.C., product who currently stars at Hough High School told On3 insider Hayes Fawcett of his commitment to the Gators for the 2027 season. Fisher is a mountain of a young prospect, standing at 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds, and it looked like that large young man was staying local, in ACC country.
Fisher had previously committed to Virginia, but now he becomes a very valuable late addition to Florida‘s 2027 recruiting class. With the class now including Fisher, the Gators have stockpiled 27 commitments for next season, with the 247Sports Composite rankings rating UF’s 2027 class as the 9th-best in the country.
Just a few days after Florida hosted Fisher for an official visit this past weekend, the Gators sealed the deal on a potential future contributor at the offensive tackle position.
Fisher was back in play in the recruiting process after he decommitted from Virginia on Oct. 14 after being committed to the Cavaliers since June.
But Florida was pushing for Fisher even before he decommitted from Virginia, then obviously that push became harder once Fisher officially reopened his recruitment after saying no to Virginia.
Among that highly ranked 2027 class heading to Gainesville and the SEC, Fisher becomes the 4th offensive lineman, joining 5-star Maxwell Hiller, 4-star Peyton Miller and 4-star Elijah Hutcheson.
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Fisher is rated as the 1,170th-best overall prospect in the 2027 class. He is also rated the 95th-best offensive tackle in the class and the 40th-best player from the state of North Carolina.
