Haven't seen a thread about his yet. Just saw his video today for the first time. Wow, the kid runs with purpose, gets downhill fast, had a spin move (a la LMJ) and can hurdle players (Blount's better days)!
Not to mention he looks like he has very solid hands playing as a Safety he makes a number of picks by simply going up to get the ball at it's highest point.
ESPN has him at 5'-11" 180lbs. Perfect frame for an RB is you ask me, since you'd think he could put on some weight yet he already looks pretty strong bouncing in and out of arm tackles.

"Right now my three standing out are Oregon, Arkansas, and Boise State. They are in no order. I will try to make my verbal commitment before or during my senior season."

As soon as I posted this, I see that I got answer from Tony Di Francisco on twitter:
Being recruited for WR at Oregon. Complete stud who has been tearing it up since his FR year @hendrg Any comments on Kelvin Fisher Jr.?
Interesting, so I guess the coaches think he has good hands too.

Seems like visitors are starting to pour in, hopefully the weather improves haha.
Peat, Fisher, Sumler, and Jones. Not bad.. Probably others as well.

Think there is anything behind this trend of recruiting prep HB's (Huff & Low) for our WR positions?

Maybe we'll have some early commits by the end of June.

Fisher is being recruited for the TAZR position according to an article on DuckTerritory. He would be a multipurpose weapon instead of just a pure receiver, getting the ball in his hands in a variety of ways.

Oregon has a history of runing back sized WRs doing well... Ahmad Rashad was an All American RB who played WR for part of his career, then was converted back to WR in the NFL, after being drafted 4th overall in the 1972 draft.

That's where the speed is. Barner, Lowe, and Huff all can play the TAZR position. But Lowe can play WR/DB if needed, and Barner can play RB.
The key thing I notice with our coaches is they a really going after the fastest players in the country who also show great versatility. I mean if you can move guys around with top speed, then your team will be dangerous.
