Social Media reacts to upcoming visits of Kyle McCord and Julian Fleming
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are preparing to host a pair of big-time transfer portal prospects. Former Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord and wide receiver Julian Fleming will visit the Lincoln campus later this week.
A report from HuskerOnline confirmed the campus visit via a text message from Derek McCord, Kyle McCord’s father. He also refused to confirm how many campuses McCord will visit before making an official decision on his future.
McCord started all 12 games for the Buckeyes in 2023. He threw for 3,170 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
He also led Ohio State to an 11-1 record but struggled in his team’s loss against Michigan. The five-star prospect entered the transfer portal on Dec. 4 after Buckeye head coach Ryan Day refused to commit McCord as the starter in the Cotton Bowl.
Julian Fleming was the top wide receiver in the class of 2020 but never cracked the starting lineup during his four years in Columbus. In 12 games this season, he had 270 yards on 26 receptions.
He totaled 79 receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns in 38 career games. Social media reports stated Fleming might be a package deal with former Buckeye quarterback Kyle McCord.

Ryan Day's Decision
Ryan Day would not commit to Kyle McCord as QB1 in the Cotton Bowl or the 2024 season:

Even Michigan Fans are Interested
So Fleming and McCord might lowkey go to Nebraska to get that smoke from OSU? The transfer portal has created story lines and it won’t ever be boring! Watching McCord and Fleming ball out on their former team would go crazy!

Social Media Detectives
#Huskers some twitter/IG folks think 💭 the Kyle McCord + Julian Fleming is all smoke but if you use common sense. Why would a close staff member be following all our transfer portal targets? McCord & Fleming back to back. Hmmm 🤔
Is it guaranteed we land them? No. pic.twitter.com/J072bLdLkk
