Ohio State WR Julian Fleming commits to Penn State

Ohio State transfer wide receiver Julian Fleming has committed to Penn State, he has announced on social media.

The No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the 2020 recruiting class chose the Buckeyes over the Nittany Lions coming out of high school. A two-time Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year, he spent four seasons in Columbus. Competing for playing time with Marvin Harrison Jr., Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, he has 79 catches for 963 career yards and seven touchdowns.

Now a grad transfer, he will be able to immediately play for the Nittany Lions. He’s the exact type of wide receiver James Franklin needed to add to his offense to give Drew Allar a dynamic weapon to rely on this offseason. Against Michigan and Ohio State this season, the Nittany Lions were lacking in that category. Penn State has badly needed a top-dog wide receiver like Jahan Dotson, and Fleming has all the intangibles to fill that role.

Julian Fleming picked Penn State over Nebraska, which he visited from Dec. 12 to Dec. 13. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound native of Catawissa, Pennsylvania, grew up roughly 90 minutes from Beaver Stadium. He’ll face his old school on Nov. 2 in Happy Valley.
