Wyoming’s disruptive, award-winning interior force
In the 2009 season, Wyoming DT John Fletcher was the Cowboys’ team MVP and “Hammer Award” winner, a strong sign he played with real edge and consistently delivered impact snaps. Earlier in his Wyoming career, he posted 10.5 sacks and 14.0 tackles for loss in 2007, production that put him among the Mountain West’s and nation’s better interior disruptors. The bigger takeaway: he wasn’t just a stat-sheet guy — he was captain material, high-motor, and a tone-setter up front, which makes him the kind of tough, dependable defensive lineman coaches love.
