Julian Fleming played for Penn State in 2024 before entering the 2025 NFL Draft cycle. He is not a member of the team’s 2026 receiver room.
College Path
Fleming went from Southern Columbia to Ohio State as one of the most heavily recruited receivers in the country, then transferred to Penn State for the 2024 season. His Penn State role was much smaller than his recruiting profile once suggested, but it was still part of the 2024 receiver rotation.
Onward State’s 2025 undrafted free-agent report listed Fleming’s Penn State production at 14 catches for 176 yards and one touchdown. That is the clean number set to use for his Penn State season unless a more complete official stat archive is being cited directly.
Professional Timeline
Fleming was reported as a Green Bay Packers undrafted free-agent addition after the 2025 NFL Draft. That report needs careful wording because later Packers official rookie free-agent material did not list him among the finalized signed rookie free agents.
SI’s Packers rookie-camp reporting later said Fleming failed his physical and was not on the field for rookie camp. Early UDFA reports connected him to Green Bay, but he did not appear in the Packers’ finalized rookie free-agent announcement.
That distinction matters for a depth-chart site. His profile belongs in former-player tracking, not in current Penn State receiver analysis and not in a live NFL roster forecast or transaction assumption.
Post-Penn State Legal Reporting
Several reputable outlets later reported that Fleming faced charges connected to a May 2025 ATV crash in Pennsylvania that killed his girlfriend, Alyssa Boyd. Associated Press and other coverage described the charges as including homicide by vehicle while DUI. Those charges are allegations, not a conviction; no private details or outcome beyond the public record are established here.
This is included because it is part of the verified post-Penn State timeline and affects any attempt to describe his professional path. It should be handled plainly, without invented quotes, dramatized scenes, unsupported motive claims, or assumptions about the final legal outcome.
Depth-Chart Takeaway
Fleming should not appear in any 2026 Penn State depth-chart charting. The current Penn State receiver room should be evaluated around active roster players and verified transfers, while Fleming’s page should remain a former-player timeline.
Fleming played at Penn State in 2024, entered the 2025 professional cycle and appeared in UDFA coverage after the draft. He did not appear in the Packers’ finalized rookie free-agent announcement. Later, he became part of publicly reported legal proceedings tied to the ATV crash.
