School and conference record books were rewritten in 2018, when the Coyotes set new highs in wins (13), total yards (6,935) and total points (676). Kansas Wesleyan finished with a No. 6 national ranking and 10 players earned all-conference honors, including the conference player of the year and offensive player of the year.

The Chicago Heights, Ill., native began his coaching career at alma mater St. Ambrose University after his graduation in 2015. Fleming also earned a master's degree in business administration from Kansas Wesleyan in 2017.
