Levar Fisher, LB, NC State (1998-2001) – The 2000 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Fisher set the NC State record for tackles with 492 in his four-year career. A two-time All-ACC first-team performer, he led the nation in tackles with an average of 15.1 as a junior in 2000. Fisher earned first-team All-America honors in both 2000 and 2001, when he was a finalist for the Dick Butkus Award presented to the nation’s top linebacker. He is tied for third on NC State’s all-time list in tackles for loss (33 for 147 yards) and is tied for second in fumbles caused. Fisher starred on Wolfpack teams that played in three bowl games. Fisher went on to a play professionally with the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints before a knee injury in 2006 cut short his career. He moved on from there to build a successful second career as a motivational speaker. (ACC)
