Former Michigan State Edge, member of 2019 class, finds new home with Sun Belt program
Michael Fletcher entered the transfer portal on Dec. 3, leaving Michigan State. Fletcher has now found a new home in the Sun Belt conference.
Fletcher is heading to Boone, North Carolina to play for the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Fletcher was a former 3-star edge rusher from the 2019 class per the 247Sports Composite.
The Spartans finished the regular season with a disappointing 5-7 record after having an 11-win season a year ago.

Fletcher played in 17 games as a Spartan. The former Michigan State defender recorded 31 total tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 2 pass deflections from his time in East Lansing.
The Flint, Michigan native comes in at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds of pure muscle. Fletcher should wreak havoc on the offensive lines of the opposing team.
The Mountaineers finished the regular season with a 6-6 record. College football fans might remember the near upset of North Carolina earlier in the season. Appalachian State also upset Texas A&M in College Station on Sept. 10 this year.
