Player to Watch: Is it Julian Fleming’s turn in the spotlight?

While all eyes will be on Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka this season, there is another receiver for the Buckeyes that can make some noise nationally: Julian Fleming.

Fleming is a name Ohio State fans were excited about when he got to Columbus along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. However, he has been hampered by multiple injuries throughout his career and, with these injuries, saw other Ohio State receivers replace him on the depth chart.

It was a while ago, but it is hard to believe where Fleming landed on the recruiting pages coming into Ohio State. Of all the talented and NFL-ready receivers that have come through Columbus over the past five years, Fleming was the highest-rated out of all of them.
