Notre Dame and Penn State appeared to be Fields’ top two choices when it became clear he wouldn’t return to Virginia after his senior season. Both schools offer star players with NFL aspirations two things: The chance to have a spotlight shone on them and a chance to play for a national championship.

Now it looks like the potential future NFL receiver is heading to South Bend and not Happy Valley
