Ohio State QB Justin Fields declares for 2021 NFL draft

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is leaving school early to enter the 2021 NFL draft

One of the top quarterback prospects in the country is officially making the early jump to the next level.

Ohio State’s Justin Fields is leaving school early to enter the 2021 NFL draft, he announced via social media Monday.

A transfer from Georgia, Fields took the Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff in each of his two seasons in Columbus, falling just short of a national title this season against Alabama.

While Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, Fields could easily come off the board at No. 2, and in any other year would be a slam-dunk selection in the top spot.
