Fleming has been charged with homicide by vehicle, driving under the influence, and aggravated assault by vehicle, according to WNEP-ABC. The former Ohio State wideout was scheduled to face a judge and be arraigned at 11 a.m. this morning in Bradford County. Fleming was seriously injured in the accident and treated by the Guthrie Troy Community Hospital back in May.
Ohio State added Fleming as a member of the 2020 recruiting class and he was the No. 1 wideout in the country coming out of Pennsylvania. The Buckeyes were able to beat out Penn State and several major programs to land Fleming. While at Ohio State, Fleming was never able to hit the star level that many thought he could. Fleming’s best season came in 2022 when he had 533 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a junior. After his production was cut in half in 2023, Fleming transferred home to Penn State to finish up his college career.
After wrapping up a five-year college career, Fleming went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. The 24-year-old signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2025. After a failed physical, the Packers moved on from Fleming.
