Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields reaffirmed his commitment to the Buckeyes, telling reporters on Wednesday he hasn't considered opting out of the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bucknuts' Dave Biddle shared Fields' comments on the matter:

"I really feel like people have different situations in whether they should opt out or not. Some people's families might not be as financially stable as others. Plus, me growing up as a kid, I've always been a competitor and I've always loved to play football. Me just growing up with my family, I never really needed anything.
