According to Rivals, Willie Fletcher is a highly regarded four-star weakside defensive end in the 2025 recruiting class. Penn State’s 2025 class is currently ranked among the top three nationally, and Fletcher’s commitment could further strengthen their recruiting efforts.

Fletcher has been gaining significant attention on a national scale, particularly from teams in the Midwest. In the past month alone, the talented recruit from Michigan has received notable offers from Illinois, Pitt, and Penn State. Moreover, he has attracted interest and offers from esteemed programs such as Michigan, Oregon, Kansas, and others.

In the 2025 class rankings, Willie Fletcher is currently positioned as the No. 241 recruit overall, the No. 11 defensive end in his class, and the No. 6 recruit in the state of Michigan.

It is crucial for Penn State football recruiting to be among the frontrunners for his commitment, a position they have now secured.

Notably, Fletcher also plays running back in high school, and his 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame make him quite versatile.
