Julian Fleming talks winning a title, being recruited by Franklin | Penn State football interview

just uh oh my gosh there's kind of too many to even think about right now I'd say the best one um coach Franklin says all the time the best ability is availability and uh obviously I've had a lot of bumps in my career through injuries and um things of that nature so just being able to be available you know to play whenever is that one of the most important things that I've Le is there a moment or a game that so far stands out to you that you want to have another game like that that's your no I wouldn't say any specific game you know the passes to pass at this point I'm just looking to constantly improve day by day and I hope to team in any way possible how healthy are you right now healthy as can be yes sir what kind of uh positives did you take from Ohio State in the sense that so many guys were able to launch into the NFL that you were competing with and playing with the side yeah you know I got to learn from a lot of great people obviously a lot of first-r round draft picks a lot of future Hall of Famers in every aspect and obviously that's my alma moer and I'm very happy that I you know attended those for years but now uh it's kind of the next foot forward and just looking forward to the future is it more convenient now for your family as far as travel and whatnot yeah most definitely I get to see my family a lot obviously not right now during a camp atmosphere and everything that we have going on but um you know in the off time on the weekends when we have weekends off I was able to come home they were able to come up here and visit me so it's a lot more convenient for that what improvements would you say to try to make this offseason um I don't want to said focus on any One Singular Improvement it was just kind of overall Improvement and you know every every year you kind it you got to be better than the next year or else you're replaceable so uh being replaceable obviously you know refreshment come in and that's kind of the coach's job is to replace you at some point so making that really hard for them was kind of my biggest thing and how would you describe your relationship with Drew or the other quarterback yeah no uh Drew I have a great relationship with Dre a great relationship well great relationship with grunk too so um I mean that's really all I can say about it it's been great uh they're very welcoming I get to hang out with them a lot outside here a lot in here uh GW is one of my lifting Partners so it's been a great experience so far what about Coach cage stands out crit Seas um just his his versatility in the offense that he calls it's um it's amazing there's so many different moving parts to the offense and you have to be very very keen to every single part of it you have to know every single position you have to know what to do what not to do what to do against every you know this that and the third but um I love his offense I think it's going to be great and you guys obviously get to see a sh B this here in making your decision did you see more opportunity here than maybe at other places the last couple years they've sort of been searching um I don't know about opportunity I just uh I wanted to go somewhere where I could compete I wanted to go somewhere where I had a chance to win a championship and I wanted to go somewhere where I could be successful so uh Penn State was obviously a spot you know I'm here right now and I'm very happy I made my decision you've seen a lot of great quarterback play over the years how does Drew compare to some of the guys you've seen from a tools perspective away from the field perspective things like that yeah Drew is a great talent and he's going to be a first round draft pi no doubt in my mind um you know his mentality his work ethic everything aligns with what you would look for in a Star Quarterback so I'm really excite excited to see him and how he uh performed this year when Penn State offered you originally I had heard this I don't know if it's true was it true you were in like seventh grade no that's not true okay when was it um my gosh you're making me think back a long time 9th or 10th okay one of those two somewhere in there maybe like ninth grade summer going into 10th GR somewhere in that in that realm I think okay was it like the whole staff that that presented the offer so I was at uh I was competing here at a 7 on seven and they pulled me in to do some uh some testing just like shuttle 40s broad jump triple Broad and then after that we went outside and Coach Franklin made me call my mom and he told her before he told me so it was it was a pretty cool thing and uh you know I have a lot of respect for him especially for one my mom wasn't phun before he did it whether Media or and
