Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields has officially declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, per an announcement issued on his official Twitter page on Monday.
“Growing up, my dream was to one day play the game that I love at the highest level,” Fields said. “Now thanks to God’s grace and mercy, along with the help of you all, I am in a position to turn that dream into reality.”
Fields, a two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, is considered to be one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2021 Draft class, and could be the second quarterback taken following Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence who is believed to be going to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first overall pick.
Fields threw for 5,373 yards, 63 touchdowns, and nine interceptions across 22 starts during his collegiate career, which started at Georgia before he transferred to Ohio State in 2019.
