Fields announced his change of heart in a Twitter post on Friday. In his statement, he updated his commitment decision.
“After a great official visit at Ole Miss this week, I have decided to commit and will be signing on Wednesday,” Fields said. “I am super excited about all of the opportunities that exist there. I want to thank Coach Kiffin, Coach Garrison, Coach Biagi, and the entire staff for hosting us this week.”

Fields is a 3-star interior offensive lineman and is the No. 41 ranked recruit in Louisiana, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. He is the No. 78 ranked interior offensive lineman in the 2023 recruiting class.
