Former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields will ask the NCAA for immediate eligibility in hopes of playing for Ryan Day's Buckeyes in 2019, Thomas Mars, the attorney helping the freshman signal caller with his request, told ESPN Wednesday morning.
Fields would typically have to sit out a year after transferring, but Mars is optimistic that he can use a new NCAA transfer waiver guideline that was set forth last April to help Fields.
The former five-star recruit from Kennesaw, Ga., announced his decision to transfer to Ohio State last Friday. Fields enrolled in classes in Columbus, Ohio this week.
