Arkansas lands Aussie punter Max Fletcher

Arkansas went down under once again to get over in its punting game.

Melbourne, Australia, punter Max Fletcher (6-5, 190) announced Monday afternoon on Twitter that he has committed to the Razorbacks.

Fletcher credited Arkansas special teams coordinator Scott Fountain for making him feel at ease with his college choice. He becomes the school’s first Australian punter since Sam Irwin-Hill in 2013-14.

“First to Coach Fountain, as soon as I spoke to him I felt really comfortable, and he mentioned about the brotherhood that Coach (Sam) Pittman and the other coaches are building at Fayetteville,” Fletcher said.
