South Carolina is doing good work on the recruiting side of things with 2027 DT Jesiah Fields (6-4 245) of Charlotte. “They are definitely in my top ten, for sure,” Fields said. “I haven’t made it just yet, but they’ll definitely be up there, for sure.”
Fields said he will make junior day visits and official visits to USC next year before making a decision in the summer.
He has been to a pair of home games this season, with the most recent visit coming for the Alabama game.
“They definitely made me feel welcomed, as always,” Fields said. “I got to see the people who are committed there, and the other guys that they are recruiting. I got to talk to them, so that was good. I definitely loved seeing them play again. They really played well. Very well coached. They played hard, physical, and fast the whole game.”
Interim defensive line coach Jordan Dove has been recruiting Fields while Travian Robertson recovers from his injuries in a car accident. However, Robertson has also made calls to him. In fact, Fields said he talked with the Gamecocks on Thursday night.
“They called and checked in on me to see how the season was going, and see if we had a game tomorrow (Friday). Told them we had a first-round bye,” Fields said. “They called to check in on me and my parents. They definitely want me down there. They said I would fit in very well if I came down there. They are definitely recruiting me very hard, I’d say.”
Fields has also been to games this season at Georgia, Auburn, and NC State. He was in Raleigh last weekend for the upset of Georgia Tech. He might go to Georgia for the Texas game on November 15th, and to Georgia Tech for the Pitt game on November 22nd. And there’s a chance he could return to Columbia for the USC-Clemson game.
In eight games reported to MaxPreps stats, Fields has had 25 tackles with 12 tackles for loss and 3 sacks.
