"I think I'll probably play safety in college," Fields said. "I have at least 10 or 11 offers. About eight of them are in writing."
Asked what schools he is interested in, Fields said, "Pitt, West Virginia, and Ohio State, that's all. It's down to those three.
"Pitt and West Virginia offered in writing. (Ohio State assistant) Coach Daniels offered verbally. I haven't talked to coach Tressel.
"I'll probably visit West Virginia this month or next month. I've been to Pitt a lot of times. I plan to go to a football game at Ohio State.
"All three schools are equal. I'll probably decide toward the middle of the season. I want to see if I get any other big offers."
Fields is the No. 34 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania in the Rivals.com player rankings.
