Scouting Report: There is more than meets the eye with Indiana LB Aiden Fisher
Get to know the man in the middle of the Indiana defense
Indiana Football just won its first-ever national championship, and much of it had to do with a dominant showing from the defensive side of the ball. That Hoosiers’ defense is anchored by none other than 2026 NFL Draft hopeful, linebacker Aiden Fisher.
A three-year starter at both James Madison and Indiana, Fisher has been a mainstay in the middle of Curt Cignett’s defense. With over 2,300 defensive snaps played in his college career, Fisher is seasoned and ready to take his game to the next level.
He is coming off a 2025 campaign where he stuffed the stat sheet with 97 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and two interceptions from the middle of the Indiana defense. However, is Fisher just another elder defensive anchor, like former Clemson linebacker James Stalski, whose football days will be remembered for what he did in college, or does Fisher have a legitimate NFL future?
Let’s dive into Fisher’s scouting report here; you might be surprised.
