James Franklin discusses Julian Fleming’s role

Speaking of wide receivers, James Franklin spoke to the media earlier this week about transfer wide receiver Julian Fleming. With his years of experience at Ohio State, there’s value in bringing that to the wide receiver room at Penn State,

On Tuesday, James Franklin spoke about the experience that Fleming brings to Penn State. Franklin said, “…His ability to play in this league, I think, is helpful,” Franklin said. “He understands what this league is all about, he also has an understanding about the playoffs as well, so I think those things are valuable, and he’s a really good guy, which I also think helps in that room.”
