Possessing promising size at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Fleming capped off one of the most decorated high school football careers in Pennsylvania history with his second consecutive state title.

Contributing two touchdowns, Fleming and the Tigers (16-0) routed the Avonworth Antelopes (15-1), 74-7, on Friday night to claim the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Class 2A championship. Owning state records for receiving yards and touchdown receptions, his 255 career catches were just five shy of another record.
