The NCAA Transfer Portal is heating up, and one of the most intriguing names to watch is Elijah Fisher, a versatile 6’6″ wing who just wrapped up a breakout season at Pacific. Averaging 15.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game on 48% shooting, Fisher has quickly emerged as a high-value target for major programs including Villanova, Seton Hall, Colorado, and Ole Miss.
After stints at Texas Tech and DePaul, Fisher exploded at Pacific in 2024-25, showcasing a dynamic offensive arsenal and elite-level potential as a two-way player. Now, entering the portal again, the former five-star Canadian prospect is looking to take the next step in a high-major program, and several schools are vying for his commitment.
A Culture Fit and Defensive Identity
Villanova’s disciplined system under Kyle Neptune thrives on players who can guard multiple positions, cut efficiently, and score within a system, and Fisher fits that mold. With his strong motor, physical tools, and improved shot creation, Fisher could be a plug-and-play wing for the Wildcats.
Colorado has become a serious player in the transfer portal under Tad Boyle, and adding Fisher would be a major win. His length, rebounding, and transition play align perfectly with the Buffs’ up-tempo offense and aggressive defense.
Shaheen Holloway’s Seton Hall teams are known for their toughness, defense, and ability to maximize athletic wings. Fisher’s gritty defensive play and scoring upside would make him a valuable two-way piece for the Pirates.

Playing under Chris Beard at Ole Miss could allow Fisher to thrive in the physical SEC while being developed by a coach known for maximizing wing talent. Beard recruited Fisher to Texas Tech, so a relationship and familiarity exist.
Fisher has seen every level of competition from Canada’s national team to multiple D1 programs. He’s now looking to double down on his strengths as a high-level wing defender with pro potential. With three years of eligibility remaining, he’s more than just a transfer; he’s a potential star in the making.
