Ex-Big Ten WR Julian Fleming involved in fatal ATV crash
Field Level Media Former Penn State and Ohio State receiver Julian Fleming was injured in an ATV accident that killed a woman, police said. The woman, 23-year-old Alyssa Boyd, was identified as his girlfriend by multiple sources. Pennsylvania State Police said the accident occurred Friday night in Columbia Township when the ATV on which the two were riding hit a deer that had jumped into the roadway. Fleming, 24, was driving the ATV, and Boyd was the passenger. She was pronounced dead at the scene from 'extensive injuries,' while Fleming was transported to the hospital, police said. Neither had on safety equipment, according to the police report. A deceased deer was found at the site. The accident investigation is continuing. Lions247 reported Fleming has been released from the hospital. In high school, Fleming was ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 1 receiver and No. 3 overall player in the Class of 2020 while playing atSouthern Columbia High School in Catawissa, Pa. He was Gatorade's Pennsylvania Player of the Year in 2019. He spent his first four seasons at Ohio State, where he caught 79 passes for 963 yards and seven touchdowns.

Reports Sunday said he had been expected to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers but failed a physical because of hip and back injuries. According to Boyd's Instagram account, she graduated from Central Columbia High School in Bloomsburg, Pa., in 2020 and went on to study at Alabama. Her most recent post was a photo of her with Fleming, dressed in his Nittany Lions uniform, that she captioned, 'Proud of you 3,' followed by a white heart.

Heartbroken Giants star pays tribute to ex-college teammate after horrific ATV crash that killed his girlfriend
Giants rookie Abdul Carter has been left broken-hearted after his former college teammate was involved in a serious ATV accident over the weekend. Former Penn State receiver Julian Fleming was driving the vehicle in Columbia Township, Pennsylvania when it struck a deer who jumped into the road, according to a police report. Fleming was hospitalized with 'serious injuries,' though his girlfriend, Alyssa Boyd - who was also onboard - died at the scene. Carter took to X on Sunday to offer some words of encouragement to his former Nittany Lions teammate. 'stay strong fam,' he wrote with two broken-heart emojis and two praying-hands emojis, before writing out Fleming's name. The 23-year-old Fleming was taken to Guthrie Troy Community Hospital following the crash. Neither Fleming, 24, nor Boyd, 23, were wearing safety equipment at the time of the crash, per the police report. Fleming, who went undrafted in last month's NFL Draft, played four seasons at Ohio State before transferring to Penn State for the 2024 season. He and Carter spent one season as teammates together in State College, as Fleming registered 176 receiving yards and Carter racked up 12 sacks. Both played 16 games for Penn State last season. Fleming signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent, but did not end up joining the team after failing his physical. Carter, meanwhile, became a Giant after New York used their No. 3 overall pick on the pass rusher. The former Penn State star recently participated in Giants minicamp as he continues to get adjusted to his new team. Big Blue will begin holding OTAs this week into early June before training camp begins in July. The Giants open their season at the Commanders on September 7.
