Highly-touted Australian punter Max Fletcher, son of Essendon great Dustin Fletcher, has signed with the University of Arkansas for the 2022 season.
Fletcher, who is seen as a top-five punter in the nation among his class, will follow in the footsteps of his older brother Mason, who is currently plying his trade with the University of Cincinnati.
Max officially signed with the Razorbacks on Wednesday (AEDT), with the 19-year-old having impressed with his long kicking ability, akin to his dad.

"It was just really exciting to officially be signing with the University of Arkansas," Fletcher said recently.
Fletcher is set to come up against some of America's biggest college football sides, including the likes of fellow SEC giants LSU, Alabama and Georgia.
Dustin Fletcher played 400 games for the Bombers across 23 years in the AFL, winning two premierships and a best and fairest during his time in the red sash.
