What an outstanding get. I penciled him in as starter; if he started for Oklahoma (and was all-Big 12 HM), I'm guessing he'll be our best safety.
Suddenly, we have a bit of depth at the position.
Scholarship counter now at 88. Three must depart roster.

Looks like Fields is on a full academic scholarship (aka full financial aid and not a football scholarship), so he's effectively a walk-on. Will start regardless.
Interesting. Figured that after he was admitted he'd be given a scholarship. Wow. Probably the most accomplished walk-on we've ever had. Also, our first-ever fifth-year non-scholarship player?
What a gift - not only his ability, but his addition sans scholarship spot.
Will fix in chart.
