History can help define the future, so we used Ohio State wide receiver history to put Julian Fleming's commitment into perspective.
When 2020 five-star wide receiver Julian Fleming committed to Ohio State on Friday morning, there were several reactions from not only fans but from current Ohio State players and commits, as well as past players. The one that seemed to stand out the most was Ohio State receiving legend and NFL Hall of Famer Chris Carter.
“Best news from the next great WR at #TheOhioState,” Carter tweeted.
Carter, who is fourth on Ohio State’s all-time receiving list, was clearly great in Columbus, but using history to navigate through some of the greatest receivers the program has seen and some of the receivers it’s put into the NFL, we tried to put into perspective what being the top wideout in the 2020 class or the third-highest ranked Ohio State commitment all-time could foreshadow for Fleming’s years as a Buckeye.
