Harvey WR has Fields day at Browns combine

High school football

Several of the area's top players were among the nearly 300 athletes who competed Wednesday in the 11th Annual National High School All-Star Combine at the Browns' training facility in Berea.

Harvey wide receiver Chris Fields showed why he is considered one of the state's top prospects. The 6-foot, 181-pounder ran the fastest time in the 40-yard dash (4.39 seconds), posted the top score in the broad jump (10 feet) and also recorded a 36-inch vertical jump and performed 11 repetitions of 185 pounds on the bench press.

"I just wanted to come out and compete and see how I do," Fields said.
Fields, who already has scholarship offers from Akron and Illinois, added an offer from Kansas to his collection earlier this week.

"It's always a good thing," Fields said of the offer from Kansas. "It's getting better as it goes. It's my first Big 12 offer. That's exciting because my former teammate Jeff Spikes plays at Kansas, and it would be good to take a visit to see Jeff."

Fields and his parents visited Ohio State last weekend when the Buckeyes hosted Indiana in basketball.

"The basketball game was a great experience," he said. "It was nice to see the court and the environment. I was up waving my Ohio State towel, and even though we lost, it was a good experience."

Ok, I see that. Looks like he could be a massive talent. Extremely Fast!!!!

Hows his hands? Has anyone seen film? Do we have any? Are grades still an issue at all? How serious is he about baseball, (as a matter of record)?

I went to JJHuddle to find Harvey, couldn't(because I'm challenged). Are they D1, like Riverside?

What's wrong with giving the kid the offer. They could tell him it's no good if the grades aren't sufficient. I'm pretty sure this sets a wrong precedent for future recruits, but to me if this kid is a Buckeye lean and that good, give him the offer. I don't know how different the Devoe Torrence situation is, but no kid wants to go through the embarrassment of getting a offer and then not being able to pull it off in the classroom. For whatever reason OSU showed its not just about football if you don't have everything in order off the field and in the classroom regardless of your verbal, your offer will be pulled. I know they don't want the Torrence situation again, but I guess I'm just anxious to close this deal with Fields after everything I keep hearing about him. I just hope Illinois doesn't still this kid from us and not really seing the big picture of university standards I guess. By the way, are we allowed to discuss what exactly happen with the Torrence situation in his thread. I'm anxious to know whats going on instead of the rumors. Hope the best for him in the long run. Sorry to go off subject anyway.:osu:

I think you just argued both sides...

Bottom line...grades need to be in order before an offer goes out. Devoe's situation had little to do with grades.

I have watched this film about 5 times now...

He truly is fun to watch...It is obvious that the competition is not exactly top notch, but he shows the ability to not stop his movement after cuts, he isn't a big shake and bake guy, he gets up field after the catch, and the speed is the most obvious thing...His slant routes he runs a few of seem to be solid, but of course would need work like every high school receiver...

He does go up and get the ball a couple times...He doesn't seem to be scared of going to get the ball in traffic...

Test Score w/ solid improvement on grades == Offer IMO...
