Ryan Day has added another five-star prospect to Ohio State’s 2020 recruiting class.

Friday morning, the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2020 class, Julian Fleming, announced that he would be committing to Ohio State. He posted a video on Twitter to make his announcement, along with a short message, “Final destination”:

Fleming had 31 offers, but chose the Buckeyes over Penn State, Clemson, Alabama and Georgia. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound receiver is ranked as the No. 1 receiver and the No. 1 player out of Pennsylvania. Overall, he’s listed as the sixth-best player in the class, per 247Sports.

With Fleming’s commitment, Ohio State’s recruiting class sits 11th nationally and second in the B1G. He’s the second five-star prospect to commit to the Buckeyes, joining Paris Johnson Jr.

Fleming is the third wide receiver to give his verbal pledge to OSU in the 2020 class.
