Mark Fletcher

A big, physically imposing running back that produced for four straight years at one of South Florida’s top NFL factories. Limited verified data available when it comes to testing and measurements, but is believed to be over 6-foot-1 and pushing 230 pounds. The type of ball carrier that loves contact and is difficult for defenders to get on the ground as he keeps his legs pumping and is always trying to fall forward. Efficient with his cuts and usually one that hits the whole with a full head of steam. Owns a bit of an up-right run style, but makes it work as he powers his way through arm tackles and likes to throw a stiff arm of his own in the open field. Wasn’t asked to catch a ton of passes throughout his prep career, but showed that he was more than capable of moving the chains via swing or screen passes. Also proved to be rather effective in pass protection as his size allowed him to square up with most edge players. Top-end speed is a bit of a concern, but does his best to make up for it by consistently fighting for yardage in the trenches. Missed some time as a junior with a shoulder injury, but rebounded nicely as a senior racking up just under 2,000 rushing yards in 15 games. Should be viewed as a future multi-year contributor at the Power Five level based upon everything that we have seen. Could likely carve out a role as a workhorse on Saturdays, but might also thrive as a ground-and-pound option in a committee.
