Auburn analyst RJ Fleming is set to be hired as the new wide receivers coach at Toledo, Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports reported.
It’s been a busy spring for Fleming, who joined the Jackson State staff after the transition from Deion Sanders to T.C. Taylor as head coach, and then he left for Auburn in March.
Fleming worked at Liberty as an offensive quality control and wide receivers coach for coach Hugh Freeze from 2019-20. He helped guide the Flames to their best season in school history finishing with a 10-1 record in 2020. The offense finished ranked 15th in FBS in total offense with 482.7 yards per game.
Earlier in his career, Fleming was the running backs coach for Texas State in 2022, and previously a wide receiver and offensive analyst coach for Eastern Michigan in 2021.
