Ohio State WR Julian Fleming to enter transfer portal for final year of eligibility
Joey Kaufman
Ohio State wide receiver Julian Fleming is entering the NCAA transfer portal for his final season of eligibility.
Fleming started the last two seasons for the Buckeyes after overcoming shoulder injuries that limited him earlier in his career. He caught 60 passes for 803 yards and six touchdowns between 2023 and 2022.
"I want to thank Ohio state and all the amazing people who were apart of my rollercoaster of a journey," he wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to announce his entry.
Fleming was the highest-ranked receiving prospect in the nation when he signed with the Buckeyes as part of their recruiting class for 2020 and one of the first major pickups on the recruiting trail for Brian Hartline, who was then in his first year as the permanent wide receivers coach.
