American Heritage star Mark Fletcher commits to Hurricanes over Florida

The Hurricanes picked up a major addition when a local star picked them over rival Florida.

American Heritage running back Mark Fletcher committed to Miami on Sunday after considering UM and UF, joining the Hurricanes’ highly-rated recruiting class.

Fletcher, who was previously committed to Ohio State, said after American Heritage’s loss to Miami Central (and future teammate Rueben Bain) in the Class 2M state championship game that picking between the Hurricanes and Gators was difficult.

“I love both atmospheres,” Fletcher said. “I love both coaching staffs. It’s a hard decision, seriously. You can’t go wrong. I could pick blindly, to be honest.
