Former UGA quarterback Justin Fields was in attendance Saturday watching the Bulldogs’ scrimmage.
It should be noted that the now Ohio State star was watching from the stands and not on the sidelines, according to Dawgnation.
Fields was looking like a sure-thing to win the Heisman Trophy this year prior to the Big Ten announcing there will be no fall sports. Now that there will be no Buckeyes football, could we possibly see Fields transfer back to UGA? Call me crazy, but remember the year we are living in. Fields transferring back to Georgia would be about the most normal thing to happen in 2020.
We wrote about that a few weeks ago:
With Big Ten postponing its season, could Justin Fields consider a return to UGA?
Fields is a Kennesaw, Georgia, native and was likely entering the final year of his college career before heading to the NFL draft. If the SEC keeps its season alive, Georgia would most likely be the No.1 landing spot for Fields, should he transfer.
Fields had an incredible sophomore season at Ohio State, throwing for 3,273 yards, 41 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist and made it to the College Football Playoff, losing by six to the Clemson Tigers in the semifinals.
Georgia already has two transfer quarterbacks, Jamie Newman and J.T. Daniels, but the addition of a Heisman finalist definitely wouldn’t hurt. There are no reports of Fields actually making the switch back to Georgia, just speculations.
