OHIO STATE WIDE RECEIVER JULIAN FLEMING PUTTING SHOULDER INJURY, FRESHMAN FRUSTRATIONS BEHIND HIM
Two spring practices into his college football career, frustration began to set in for Julian Fleming.
Having long been out in front of his contemporaries as the nation’s top-rated wide receiver in the class of 2020, Fleming found himself a bit behind many of the wideouts at Ohio State – even some fellow freshmen – when it came to the fundamentals of the position.
The Delaware Wing-T offense run at Southern Columbia High School in Fleming’s native Catawissa, Pennsylvania, didn’t exactly prepare him for the demands of Ryan Day’s high-flying pass attack in Columbus, and despite the expectations to become an immediate impact performer, the country’s No. 3 overall prospect suddenly had to play catch-up.
“It was a little bit of a rude awakening, but at the same time I kind of knew it was coming,” Fleming said Wednesday. “Just because everybody told me college was not high school, and obviously it’s not.”

Fleming had 2 catches for 22 yards today; and should have gotten credit for a 3rd.....

Finally healthy, and looked pretty good. Should’ve had that 3rd catch, but the fact that he got to it was still damn good

“It’s definitely been a frustrating process, but I’m just taking it day by day, trying to continue to get better and continue to stay healthy and that’s all I can ask for,” Fleming said. “I’m trying to be a professional about it, get in the training room as much as possible and we have one of the best training staffs in the country. So they’re just trying to help me get right and get healthy.”
“I feel like I’m improving each and every week and I’m hoping to continue that,” Fleming said.

Kudos to Julian for showing some real toughness in the Rose Bowl after separating his shoulder and coming back into the game. Really hoping for a healthy and productive 2022 for him.

Yes! Thank you for posting that. I wanted to say something last night because that wasn't a "get in the way block" he stuck his face in there and laid a lick to spring JSN. Hartline is extremely happy with that I guarantee it.

Sure looks like targeting by the Utah DB if you ask me. Crown of the helmet to Fleming’s face mask?
