Background

Early life and high school career

Fields was born August 26, 2003 in Charlottesville, Virginia. He attended Monticello High School in Charlottesville where he played quarterback and was a state champion in track and field; however, he was offered by colleges as a wide receiver. He committed to play college football at the University of Virginia over offers from Liberty, VMI, and William & Mary.

Virginia

As a freshman, Fields made an immediate impact, earning praise from then-Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall following a 35-yard performance against Wake Forest. He finished his freshman season by recording 11 receptions for 172 yards before undergoing surgery to repair a broken metatarsal in his left foot, missing significant time during his sophomore season. In his only appearance during his sophomore year against Pittsburgh, Fields caught his first career touchdown in addition to five receptions for 58 yards. As a junior, Fields emerged as one of the top wide receivers statistically in the conference. Fields, along with teammate Malik Washington, combined to become the only two receivers to both record 800 yards in the conference. At the conclusion of his junior season, he was named a semifinalist for the Comeback Player of the Year Award after tallying 811 yards on 58 receptions for five touchdowns. As a senior, Fields recorded 55 receptions for 808 yards and five touchdowns, before entering the transfer portal.
