I'm so here for Justin Fields vs. Tate Martell this offseason.

I’ve never seen a HS quarterback own the position like Justin Fields did in the summer of 2017 — how that translates into college is up in the air, but he’s got an absolutely incredibly high ceiling.

Justin Fields will transfer to Ohio State, according to a source close to the #UGA QB.
He planned on competing for the job with Jake Fromm, and wasn’t able to win it. Ohio State then became “the best situation for him.”

I wouldn't surprised if the whole damn transfer system breaks down with Justin Fields as the catalyst. You watch, he will get a waiver and the system as we know it will forever be changed.
