Escaping the desert heat, Arizona transfer Tony Fields has made an impact at WVU

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s leading tackler in each of their first two games was not on the Mountaineer roster through most of the offseason. Tony Fields II has made an immediate impact on the West Virginia defense after transferring into the program in August.

“It was a family decision,” Fields said. “Me and my father were talking about it all the time. I just decided it was best for me to move on and try to go to a different team to help my career. And I ended up at West Virginia. I love the school and I had a great relationship with Coach (Jahmile) Addae already because he recruited me to the University of Arizona.
