100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #10 Pat Fields By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: September 2, 2020

The Path to Norman

Pat Fields became a hot commodity his junior year of high school. The talented defensive back picked up several offers and began to be recognized as one of the state of Oklahoma’s best high school players. After almost another year, but still a year before his signing day, Fields let it be known where he wanted to play. 

Fields became an extremely vocal leader of the 2018 class, deserving credit for helping the OU coaching staff land several talented prospects. 

Career So Far

Fields came in his freshman year and played in six games, becoming a regular towards the tail end of the season. 

His sophomore season was a big step forward; Fields started at free safety in every game. He was a consistent piece on the field, one DC Alex Grinch was often vocal in supporting. Fields earned honorable mention All-Big 12 selection and was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team

Highlights

2020 Season

OU returns both starters at safety in 2020 – Fields at free safety and DTY at strong safety. However, Bryson Washington and Woodi Washington are really pushing for playing time this year. Experience is certainly a huge building block, and the experience Fields and DTY gained last year will be a leg up this season. Fields will work to keep his starting job and continue growing from last season.
