Growing up in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, Julian Fleming was surrounded by Penn State fans.
He says most people from his hometown, which is about an hour-and-a-half away from Penn State, root for the Nittany Lions. He has multiple childhood friends who play for the Nittany Lions now that he played AAU basketball with growing up. Of course, Fleming was heavily recruited by the Nittany Lions as the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 3 overall prospect in the class of 2020.
Despite all of that, Fleming chose to leave his home state to play for Ohio State.
