Chris Fields, coming off a 4-6 senior season at Harvey High, is taking a step up now that he's at Ohio State. He saw a taste of that at Saturday's Big 33 Classic, playing against some of the best players in Pennsylvania.

"The competition was real hard," Fields said after Ohio's win. "As a player coming from high school, the competition was not as good. But I'm competitive, and I'm competing with a good chance to get in the rotation."

Players like this always intrigue me. Coaches love to talk about players that played for winning programs, but every kid with a scholarship doesn't always come from a 10-win team.

Fields was used mostly on short crossing routes in the Big 33, as Ohio lined up in four-receiver sets much of the time. He didn't really make any big plays, but he didn't have much opportunity to. He does come across as a polished, confident kid ready to handle his business.
