Former Ohio State wide receiver Julian Fleming won’t be going too far to find his new college football home.
The former Buckeye announced on social media on Wednesday that he would play for Penn State in 2024.
Fleming spent four seasons with Ohio State, and he put up 963 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 career receptions. His best season came as a junior in 2022, when he caught 34 passes for 533 yards and six touchdowns.
The senior put together a season-high 58 receiving yards in two separate games, once against Indiana in the season opener and again in the regular season finale against Michigan. He finished fourth on the team with 270 receiving yards in 2023.
He shared time in the Buckeyes wide receiver room with names like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Jameson Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Emeka Egbuka.
A former five-star prospect out of high school, Fleming was the top receiver and the No. 4 overall recruit in 247Sports’ Class of 2020 rankings. The Pennsylvania native sat atop a position ranking with Smith-Njigba, Washington’s Jalen McMillan, and Alabama‘s Jermaine Burton.
