Miami RB Mark Fletcher Jr. | 2026 ACC Returning Players To Watch

No player improved their national profile during the 2025 College Football Playoffs more than Miami running back Mark Fletcher Jr. Fletcher ran for 507 yards in the four playoff games, a CFP record. For the season, he ran for a career-best 1,192 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was sixth in the nation with 36 explosive runs. The only reason not to expect bigger numbers for Fletcher in 2026 is that the depth of the Miami running back room might be the deepest it's been since the early 2000s teams. Still, he is expected to be the leading rusher and one of the best running backs in the nation. Mark Fletcher Jr. is clearly one of the returning ACC players to watch in the upcoming 2026 season.
