Fleming caught 80 passes for 990 yards and seven touchdowns for Ohio State, playing behind talented wide receivers such as Marvin Harrison Jr., Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave, and Garrett Wilson.

Fleming chose to transfer to Penn State over Nebraska after picking Ohio State over the Nittany Lions in 2020. His best season at Ohio State was in 2022 when he made 34 catches for 533 yards and six touchdowns.

Fleming had 26 receptions for 270 yards this season.
