Julian Fleming crash: What happened to the former Penn State star and his girlfriend?

Former Penn State wide receiver Julian Fleming was reportedly involved in an ATV accident on Friday. According to reporter Nick Zelaya, Fleming suffered serious injuries, and his girlfriend, Alyssa Boyd, was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Former Southern Columbia and Penn State WR Julian Fleming was in an ATV crash on Friday night, sustaining serious injuries. The passenger, Alyssa Boyd, was Fleming’s girlfriend who was pronounced dead at the scene according to Pennsylvania State Police. Reports say the ATV hit a deer and neither riders were wearing safety equipment. Prayers to the Fleming and Boyd families."

The crash occurred in Bradford County in Pennsylvania. According to law enforcement, the ATV was driving north on Painter Lick Lane when it struck a deer that ran onto the road.

Fleming and Boyd were thrown from the ATV upon impact. Police confirmed that a deceased deer was found near the scene, consistent with the damage found on the ATV. Reporter Matt Baker reported that Fleming was released from the hospital on Saturday morning.

"Fleming was released from the hospital yesterday morning, according to the Pennsylvania State Police. The crash remains under investigation."

Julian Fleming ATV crash is still under investigation

Shortly after the crash, Julian Fleming was transported to Guthrie Troy Community Hospital. He reportedly suffered severe injuries, but the exact nature of those was not released to the public. The crash is under investigation.

Fleming finished his final year of college football in the 2024 season. After four years at Ohio State, he transferred to Penn State before last season. He took a step back from the previous two seasons, registering 14 receptions for 176 yards and one TD.

Fleming was not selected in the 2025 NFL draft. He signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent. However, when the Packers' rookie minicamp came around, he was not listed as a player on the team, not even as a tryout.

It was later reported that Julian Fleming had traveled to Green Bay but turned away because he failed the medical checks. The Packers reportedly did not bring him to the facility for the pre-draft visit. So, it is possible that they did not know the extent of his injuries when they signed him.
