A Nebraska target in the transfer portal has committed to a Big Ten rival. Julian Fleming made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon.

Fleming was the top wide receiver in the class of 2020 but never cracked the starting lineup during his four years in Columbus. He totaled 79 receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns in 38 career games.

The Huskers had been in pursuit of the wide receiver since shortly after he entered the portal in early December. Contact with Fleming had slowed after Nebraska passed on bringing in quarterback Kyle McCord, who later signed Syracuse.

In 12 games this season, Fleming had 270 yards on 26 receptions. He will have one year of eligibility remaining upon his arrival in Happy Valley.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are preparing to host a pair of big-time transfer portal prospects. Former Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord and wide receiver Julian Fleming will visit the Lincoln campus later this week.

A report from HuskerOnline confirmed the campus visit via a text message from Derek McCord, Kyle McCord’s father. He also refused to confirm how many campuses McCord will visit before making an official decision on his future.

McCord started all 12 games for the Buckeyes in 2023. He threw for 3,170 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

He also led Ohio State to an 11-1 record but struggled in his team’s loss against Michigan. The five-star prospect entered the transfer portal on Dec. 4 after Buckeye head coach Ryan Day refused to commit McCord as the starter in the Cotton Bowl.

REPORT: Nebraska to host pair of Ohio State transfers this week

Nebraska will be hosting a pair of Ohio State transfers this week

Transfer portal season is about to heat up for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

According to a report from Zack Carpenter of Inside Nebraska of the Rivals network, the Huskers will host Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord and wide receiver Julian Fleming on visits this upcoming week.

McCord’s name is not new this portal season for the Huskers. It was reported last week. The two sides have been reportedly in contact since the portal opened on Monday, and the Huskers officially extended an offer to the New Jersey native recently. The Huskers are considered the general favorite to land the former Ohio State quarterback.

The former highly-touted prospect out of St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just finished his first season as Ohio State’s starting quarterback. In 12 games, McCord completed 65.8% of his passing attempts for 3,170 yards and 24 touchdowns to eight interceptions. For his career, he has posted a 66.5% completion percentage for 3,776 yards, 27 touchdowns, and eight interceptions,

Fleming’s name has been discussed in rumors, but Sunday’s report from Inside Nebraska is the first time the former five-star’s name has been concretely connected to the Huskers. Also involved with Fleming is Penn State, located less than two hours from Fleming’s hometown in Pennsylvania.

Fleming battled some injuries at Ohio State early in his career but has played in 23 games over the last two seasons. Over four years with Ohio State, Fleming recorded 79 receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns.
