COLUMBUS — Ohio State is the front-runner to land the services of former five-star quarterback Justin Fields, multiple sources have indicated to The Blade.

The true freshman backup at Georgia has alerted coach Kirby Smart of his intent to transfer. Ohio State coach Ryan Day is a primary reason for Fields’ interest in the Buckeyes.

Fields, who will be the most coveted free agent in college football, is also considering Florida State and Oklahoma.

He intends to petition the NCAA for immediate eligibility. UGASports.com reported that Fields is expected to retain Tom Mars, the attorney who helped Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson gain immediate eligibility. Mars has become a transfer whisperer, winning several waiver cases in 2018.

Has he officially said he’s leaving? I know he said he may.

oh college football. hopefully we can drag in several bureaucrats and some kind of special committee to rule on his eligibility to complete the process.

What is Fields argument for immediate eligibility? “Ummm I didn’t know how to properly read a depth chart when I signed with UGA, despite everyone constantly questioning my decision.”

I don't see how this is comparable to Shea Patterson at all

What possible waiver could Fields obtain? He can't play the hardship/transfer close to home card bc he's from Georgia and he can't play the sanctions card so idk what way he could possibly get immediate eligibility?

I haven't gotten to watch him play much (since he didn't play much at UGA this year) but I kind of wonder why OSU would be going full on after him. He is a DT guy, who was a Meyer type through and through. Day may want to go a bit more traditional

However, I do know that the QB coach Fields went to in the offseason is the same one Haskins goes to, and he said if he had a son he would want Day to be his coach. Probably playing big into this

He needs to play the Josh Belk card...

Have his mom move to Ohio and then she comes down with a "health condition". He has the lawyer, so he is well on his way to getting there.

UGA convincing that kid to sign has to be one of the better recruiting jobs in recent memory.
