The Fields Family may be switching allegiance to the Michigan Wolverines.
Jessica Fields, the younger sister of former Ohio State and current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields, announced her commitment to the Wolverines women's basketball program.
Fields is a 6'1" senior at Mount Paran Christian School in Kennesaw, Georgia. She chose the Wolverines over Georgetown and Northwestern. She did not announce an Ohio State offer.
She expressed relief at the process being over but said it was fun to be the one being recruited.
"I was ready to wrap up my recruitment process," Fields said, per Talia Goodman of On3. "I started very early in eighth grade, so it's been a very long process. I got to see both of my siblings go through it, so I always looked forward to when coaches would finally focus on me in visits instead of being the little sibling running around."
Justin would play two seasons at Ohio State after originally beginning his career at Georgia. He won Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020 and won his only matchup against Michigan.
Fields' other sister, Jaiden, played softball at Georgia. Jessica will now get her chance to shine in a power conference.
Michigan went 20-14 in 2023-24 and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
