It was a way better atmosphere, said Fields, whos ranked the nations No. 401 overall prospect and No. 15 dual-threat quarterback in the 247Sports Composite for the 2018 class. I liked the way Coach (Butch Jones) pushed the team and they just kept fighting during the game. And they came back with a game plan in the second half, and they executed it. It was definitely an exciting win for them.
What was cool to me was how they did the (orange-and-white) checkerboard in the crowd, he said. That was cool to see. It was loud. It was really loud. I heard the stadium was like that, though. I was kind of expecting it, but it was definitely loud.
The visit gave Fields another chance to meet with Tennessees coaches and some of the Vols current commitments, including five-star Class of 2018 offensive lineman Cade Mays and four-star 2018 athlete Alontae Taylor. They just told me they want me to play with them and stuff, Fields said of Mays and Taylor. Alontae, hes a funny dude.
Fields said he also talked with some of the other prospects who visited Tennessee for Saturdays game, including five-star Penn State defensive end commitment Micah Parsons of Harrisburg, Pa.Weve been texting back and forth, asking each other about recruiting, Fields said of Parsons.
[He] said hes undecided on whether he might be ready to make a decision within the next few weeks. Im just going to pray about it, Fields said. I wouldnt really say its a goal. Im not trying to rush through it.
