Fields chose West Virginia over Texas and Minnesota. Mountaineer Maven was told the Texas was the favorite, but a strong late push from the West Virginia coaching staff sealed the deal.

Fields has been a highly productive player throughout his three year career having totaled 287 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, one interception, and one forced fumbled.

In his farewell tweet to Arizona, Fields thanked several of his coaches including West Virginia co-defensive coordinator, Jahmile Addae, who coached at Arizona from 2013-17.
