5-Star WR Julian Fleming Cancels Georgia Visit as Ohio State Momentum Grows
By Brian Cass
As college programs prepare their recruiting plans for the 2020 class, all eyes are on No. 1 wide receiver prospect, Julian Fleming.
Fleming has garnered attention from several major programs, so narrowing it down to just one school is no easy task. But as of right now, it seems like the Georgia Bulldogs are out of the running, as Fleming informed UGA that he will not be visiting the school in the coming weeks.

Georgia already has the second ranked recruiting class of 2019 according to USA Today, so adding the best high school wideout to their 2020 class would cement next year's class as well.
It's been reported that Fleming canceled his trip to Georgia so he could visit Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes that same weekend instead. And OSU is now the strong favorites to bring in the high school standout.
The Penn State football program is becoming a laughingstock.

Julian Fleming is now heavily projected to go to Ohio State.

During his time in high school, Fleming has amassed 47 total touchdowns, 150 catches and 3,195 receiving yards with an average of 21.3 per reception. It's no wonder he's the most sought-after wide receiver prospect in the nation.
OSU already has one of the most explosive offenses in all of college football. Bringing in Fleming in 2020 would definitely help continue that trend.
