~~Delete~~ only finding fan-blog sites and discussion pages specific to Gerogia football. Hasn't generated enough press (that I can find) to pass WP:GNG. Would change my position if they were presented.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:05, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As Fields has not yet played a down in college ball, WP:NHSPHSATH is arguably the governing standard, and the article is a stub that need work. But this guy is that rare player who clearly meets the NHSPHSATH bar. A search of NewsLibrary.com turns up hundreds of articles focused on him. He's been rated by ESPN.com as the No. 1 guy in the 2018 recruiting class. See ESPN profile. Here are a few examples of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources: (1) this and this from ESPN.com; (2) this from USA Today; (3) this, this and this from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; (4) this story about a documentary film crew covering his senior year; (5) this from Sports Illustrated; (6) this from The Philadelphia Inquirer; and (7) this from CBS Sports.
