George Fleming served as a running back, kicker, kick returner, punt returner, and defensive back for the University of Washington. In his second year, the Huskies posted a 10–1 record and reached the 1960 Rose Bowl Game.
Fleming scored one touchdown and helped set up his team for two more in a 44–8 victory over Wisconsin. He also kicked a field goal and five extra points. For his performance, he was named the Rose Bowl Game’s co-Player of the Game with Bob Schloredt. In 1961, the Huskies returned to the Rose Bowl Game. Fleming scored the game’s first points on a 44-yard field goal, which at the time was the longest in Rose Bowl Game history. He went on to convert the extra point after Washington’s next two touchdowns in a 17–7 victory over Minnesota.
Fleming was inducted into the University of Washington Hall of Fame in 1980.
