You’d be forgiven for thinking one story Ryan Day told at an NIL fundraising event last week sounded a bit far-fetched.
Peeling back the curtain on preseason camp in the leadup to the 2022 football season, Day described a particularly gutsy feat from a Buckeye wideout on the practice field. Julian Fleming, who’s dealt with an injured shoulder since his high school career, had his shoulder pop out of its socket during practice. Then he popped it back into place and scored two touchdowns in the scrimmage that followed.
Asked about the incident himself last week, Fleming only needed three words to confirm its validity.
