Former Ohio State wide receiver Julian Fleming has announced his decision to transfer to Penn State for the upcoming 2024 season. Fleming, who was ESPN's No. 1 recruit in the 2020 class, made the announcement on Instagram. After entering the transfer portal on December 4, the talented receiver chose the Nittany Lions to help bolster their underperforming receiving corps.

Penn State had been seen as the favorite to land Fleming, as they were actively seeking reinforcements for their receiving unit following a lackluster 2023 season. With new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki at the helm, the team hopes to revitalize their offense, and Fleming's addition will undoubtedly contribute to their efforts. The Nittany Lions will also have the luxury of returning quarterback Drew Allar, who will be entering his second season as the starter.

During his time at Ohio State, Fleming recorded impressive stats, amassing 79 catches for 963 yards and seven touchdowns. His breakout season came in 2022 when he hauled in 34 receptions for 533 yards and six touchdowns. In total, he appeared in 38 games for the Buckeyes, earning 22 starts.

Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 210 pounds, Fleming is a native of Catawissa, Pennsylvania. He recently graduated from Ohio State in December, making him eligible to play immediately for Penn State in the 2024 season.

Fleming's transfer to Penn State has generated significant buzz among college football fans, as they eagerly await his impact on the Nittany Lions' offense. With his exceptional talent and past performance, many are optimistic that he will be a valuable asset to his new team in the upcoming season.
