Ohio State head coach Ryan Day says Justin Fields will be the Buckeyes starting quarterback against Florida Atlantic on August 31st.
Fields spent one season at Georgia before petitioning the NCAA for an immediate transfer to Ohio State last year.
Fields was ranked the number one dual-threat QB prospect overall in the class of 2018 and beat out Dublin native Gunnar Hoak and West Virginia transfer Chris Chugunov for the job.
Day said he has not yet decided who will be the main backup to Fields when the Bucks play the Owls at Ohio Stadium.
