  Draft Scout by Conference









  Julian Fleming enters his third season with Ohio State football still endeavoring to display the talent that once made him a highly coveted prospect. According to coach Ryan Day, the junior from Pennsylvania took an important step over the summer. Strength coach Mickey Marotti's champion tiers for offseason workouts are gold, red and blue. Yet above gold, a select group can also attain "Iron Buckeye" status. That's not a list the staff releases, but it's notable when Ryan Day attaches that designation to anyone. After Thursday's first practice, Day said Fleming achieved an Iron Buckeye summer.

The former five-star prospect and No. 1-ranked receiver in the 2020 class, slowed by injuries and blocked from a bigger role by stars now departed to the NFL, may finally be synching health with opportunity. "Julian Fleming had the best offseason he's had to this point," Day said. The potential ramifications for the offense are immense. Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson were both selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Jaxon Smith-Njigba returns from a record-setting season in the slot. Sophomore Marvin Harrison Jr. is the leading candidate for the X receiver as a bigger-bodied red zone threat. Fleming, though, could be the Z answer that takes the top off defenses as Olave once did. He totaled 86 yards and a touchdown on 12 receptions last season. To this point, some of his bigger playmaking opportunities have come on special teams, or when running down a defender after an interception and forcing a fumble. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
