He initially said that Georgia and Florida State were the two key recruiters of him, but then added this:
"They are," Fields said. "Well, I would say Auburn also."
He also gave some insight on what another member of his family is thinking about his recruitment right now. "My dad likes Georgia and Florida State," Fields said. "He likes the location with Georgia - and the coaching staff there. He likes what Florida State has done at quarterback as well though."
