COACH'S QUOTE – "Over the last four years, I have watched this young man represent the Fairfield football program as the perfect ambassador. He is conscientious in the classroom and in the hallways. He is dominant in the weight room and the playing field. He has handled all of his success with grace and humility. In short, Talon Fisher is who we all want our players to be, in fact, Talon Fisher is who we all want our sons to be."
— Jason Krause, Varsity Football Coach
