The former No. 2 overall recruit in the country who starred at Southern Columbia— less than 100 miles from Penn State— signed with OSU out of high school and played there from 2020-23.
Fleming wasn’t drafted this spring but was expected to sign a free agent contract with the Green Bay Packers. But Fleming reportedly lost that offer due to a failed physical.
This is a developing story, and Nittany Sports Now will have more information once it becomes available.
