It appears another Michigan recruit will make his way to Madison for an official visit.
Flint, Mich. (Carman-Ainsworth) prospect Michael Fletcher announced on Thursday that he will officially visit Wisconsin from June 8–10.
Listed at 6’6, 240 pounds by 247Sports, Fletcher is considered a defensive end by the three major recruiting services. He is rated a four-star prospect by 247Sports (composite and standalone) and a three-star by Rivals and ESPN.
Fletcher reportedly has received offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska, Pitt, and Purdue, among others. 247Sports lists the Spartans and Wolverines in the “Warmer” category and the Badgers as “Warm.”
