The 6-3, 315-pound Fields is a three-star rivals.com prospect from Geismar, La., who plays at Dutchtown High. The school is located between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, about 45 minutes from New Orleans and roughly 20 minutes from Baton Rouge.
Fields projects as a guard, sporting offers from Indiana, Louisiana Tech, Charlotte, Louisiana and Grambling, among others.
