Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is one of the best college football players in the entire nation.

This incredible season had Fields as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy and had the Buckeyes back in the College Football Playoff.

This season also has garnered the attention of NFL scouts for the 2021 Draft. Only a Junior, if he was to declare for the NFL Draft after this season, Fields would not only be one of the first quarterbacks taken off the board but also one of the first players taken.

Pretty impressive resume for someone in a new system after transferring to the Buckeyes from the Georgia Bulldogs in early January. But the transfer process wasn’t as easy.

In early February, Fields won his appeal and was granted immediate eligibility.

A lot going on for such a young talent, but it was a huge steal for Ohio State.
