The announcement came this morning via Eleven Warriors on Twitter:

The Buckeyes had an opening at the special teams coordinator position, due to Greg Mattison retiring after this past season. Kerry Coombs will also now be the team’s defensive coordinator for the 2021 season, according to the article.

This isn’t the first time Fleming has been a full-time assistant coach at the collegiate level. Before joining the Buckeyes, he was the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas State. He’s also worked at James Madison as their wide receivers coach.
