Fisher credited family reasons and being "closer to home" as the main reasons to move on from the Gophers, but the 6-2, 230-pound linebacker from Tulsa, Okla., also said "there's been a lot of stuff going on" at Minnesota, according to a Rivals.com story Monday.
Fisher added that he liked the Gophers coaches and the "top-of-the-line" facilities.
The Union High School standout, a consensus three-star recruit, committed to the Gophers in May. But his commitment to Minnesota appeared to be soft when he visited Texas earlier this month.
