ESPN’s College Gameday is coming to campus, and they will treat the hundreds of Ohio State football fans with a guest appearance from a former superstar.
That star quarterback was none other than Justin Fields, who is one of the most memorable quarterbacks in recent history for the Buckeyes.
Other former players, like Joe Burrow, could’ve been possible candidates as well, but Fields won the prize. Coming off a win against the Browns on Thursday Night Football with his Pittsburgh Steelers doesn’t hurt either.
Here’s the official release.

Having been back to Columbus since being a first-round pick, Fields is the perfect pick because he’s a fan favorite.
While Burrow’s name might have been thrown out and even Keanu Reeves, who has played Ohio State quarterbacks in movies, made some sense, it is Fields who will get this crowd going.
However, the dominos also had to fall in the right way as the Steelers will have the next few days without a game as they did play on Thursday Night Football.
Had that not been the case, we might not be typing this article up. Fields spent two seasons with the Buckeyes and went for a total of 63 passing touchdowns in those.
Let’s just say it is pretty easy to guess who Fields is going to pick on Saturday!
