Jon Sumrall and the Florida Gators added a valuable prospect to the trenches, earning the football Class of 2027 commitment of lineman Moreno Fisher.

Fisher announced his pledge to the Gators on Thursday, per On3 insider Hayes Fawcett. Hailing from Cornelius, North Carolina, he originally committed to Virginia before changing his mind by going south.

Fisher stands out as a three-star lineman with an 86 score on 247Sports. He ranks 48th among players from the state of North Carolina and 108th among players at his position. His composite score of 0.8656 puts him at 40th, 95th and 1170th nationally in those respective categories.

“Moreno has become a fast riser from a recruiting perspective. The cool thing about Moreno is that he started as a defensive lineman, so he hasn’t played offensive line very long, and he’s already getting Power 4 attention and offers. The size is something you absolutely love with Moreno, and with him also going over to Hough High School, it’s going to be fun to watch his development continue to grow exponentially. Moreno is really good in the run game, and moves his feet well in both run blocking and pass protection,” Prep Redzone Lead Scout Matt Morrow wrote in his report.
