Former UVa prospect Moreno Fisher commits to Florida Gators

Moreno Fisher is a massive human. 

A 3-star offensive tackle from Charlotte, North Carolina, Fisher checks in at 6-foot-7, 305 pounds.

He's a senior in high school, and he's built like a mountain. Imagine what he'll look like after a few years working out in Gainesville with the Florida Gators.

That projection will one day become a reality, because Fisher committed to Jon Sumrall and the Gators on Thursday.

Fisher was at one time committed to Virginia but a big fall for him on the recruiting trail opened things up. 

He received offers from Florida, Auburn and Florida State and decided to decommit from UVa and check out some other others.

That led to a visit to watch Florida beat then No. 4 Ole Miss at "The Swamp" and then an official visit this past weekend. The whole while, offensive line coach Phil Trautwein recruited the big offensive tackle hard.

Sumrall and the energy surrounding his program played a role in the decision to commit as well.

“Coach Sumrall has done a great job,” Fisher told Rivals. “They have a great atmosphere at Florida. The crowd is great. It is a top SEC school and the coaches have them playing well.”

Fisher is ranked as the No. 95 offensive tackle in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite. He joins a Florida class that's starting to look special, as he's the Gators' 27th 2027 commitment.

Sumrall's 2027 class is currently ranked No. 9 nationally. 

“Then the way they carry themselves so far this season, bouncing back from losses, responding. It’s all just right in front of me," Fisher said of the Gators. "I like what they are about.”
