Fletcher, who currently plays for the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., is rated the No. 1 long snapper of the class by specialist trainers Chris Sailer Kicking/Rubio Long Snapping. He also had offers from Florida State and Texas A&M.
Earlier this year, the Crimson Tide added walk-on long snapper Scott Mayer, who will be eligible for 2016.
Alabama’s recruiting class is ranked No. 1 in the SEC and No. 2 nationally by 247Sports Composite.
