By all accounts and measures, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields surpassed the expectations of a new starter in Columbus. Just when you thought the next Buckeye quarterback couldn’t come close to what Dwayne Haskins did in 2018, Fields elbowed his way to New York as a Heisman Finalist.
We all knew at that point it was nothing more than an all-expenses paid trip to watch LSU quarterback Joe Burrow win the bronze statue, but it was still an experience for him and fellow OSU star Chase Young.
It may have also set him up for 2020.
In fact, according to the Sportsbook Fan Duel, Fields is your odds on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy in 2020 at +175. Right behind him is Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence at +430. Past those top two are Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez and Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler at +1200, followed by transfer-to-be D’Eriq King, and Wake Forest quarterback Jamie Newman, both with odds of +1600.
There are multiple media outlets predicting success for the Ohio State football team in 2020, and if it ultimately breaks down some of those thoughts, Fields will have a lot to do with it.
