Fletcher was a prominent fullback for the Georgia Bulldogs of the University of Georgia, selected All-Southern in 1922.[3] Walter Camp gave him honorable mention on his All-America team.[4] In the game against Tennessee in 1923, one account reads "he rammed the ball almost the entire length of the field on two occasions."[5] He was elected captain of the 1924 team,[6] but went down with injury and had his place at captain filled by tackle Jim Taylor.[7] At Georgia he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega.[5]
