Todd County Central football coach Chris Fletcher is one of eight people who will be added to the Austin Peay State University’s Governors Ring of Honor this year.
Fletcher’s four-year career spanned an era where Austin Peay transitioned from the nonscholarship Pioneer Football League to the scholarship Ohio Valley Conference. He excelled in both leagues, winning 2007 First Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors after earning All-Pioneer Football League recognition twice (2005-06).
Fletcher’s 4,688 career rushing yards remain the program record by more than 1,000 yards, while he averaged a program-best 106.5 yards per game during his career. He was responsible for scoring a program-record 42 touchdowns, the only running back in program history to record 40 or more touchdowns — and recorded 28 100-yard games in a career that saw him play 44 games.
Fletcher joins football players Carlton Flatt (1964), and Kordell Jackson (2021); baseball alumni Jamie “Cat” Walker (1992) and Lyle Miller-Green (2023), women’s golf alumnae Chelsea Harris Phillips (2011), volleyball alumnae Connie Caldwell-Rogan (1989) and women’s track and field alumna Breigh Jones (2015) and Sherlonda Johnson (2006) to join the Ring of Honor.
The addition of the eight newest members will bring the Governors Ring of Honor to 41 members. They will be recognized during Homecoming weekend ceremonies on October 25-26.
