Brian Hartline Says Julian Fleming is “A Special Individual” Who Has Missed “Crucial Development Time” While Battling Shoulder Injury

During Ohio State’s last spring practice that was open to the media on Monday, the first-team wide receiver unit consisted of Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba while the second-team wide receiver unit consisted of Jameson Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.

Unsurprisingly, that news led to the same question from many Ohio State fans: What’s up with Julian Fleming?

After all, Fleming is the fourth-highest-rated recruit Ohio State has signed since the turn of the millennium. He was the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 3 overall prospect in the recruiting class of 2020.
