Harvey offers star attractions
Thursday, August 16, 2007From staff reports

Looking for some under-the-radar college recruits to see this fall? Go see Harvey in Painesville.

Junior wideout Chris Fields (6-1, 185) is attracting attention from nearly every major college in the country, and Red Raiders coach Devlin Culliver said, "I'm betting it'll come down to [Ohio State] and Florida."

Fields, who has been clocked at 4.42 in the 40-yard dash and has great hands, also is an outstanding center fielder and could be a prospect along the lines of current two-sport Ohio State player Devon Torrence.

i read that Chris ran two consecutive 4.35 40's at Akrons camp as a freshman, and I believe it for sure, this kid has got a first step from hell with good size 6 1" 185 frame, i can wait to see what he can do as a junior, he looks like he was the hips of a corner aswell and hes by far quick enough for corner, a great prospect guys. hell be very well known when he starts blowing up combines next summer.

Quotes from Chris in the article

He loves baseball and would like a situation similar to Torrence. But if he can't have that, it appears that going to college is his overriding priority and obviously tOSU is the no.1 choice.

Chris loved his trip to Columbus and calls tOSU his dream school.

Harvey (1-4) was at times sloppy and other times terrific, and the latter happened mostly when junior Chris Fields had the ball. He worked with quarterback Mickey Mohner, tailback Chris Bowler and a steady offensive line to keep the Red Raiders in the game.

Fields scored on an electric, 90-yard kickoff return in the first quarter. His 15-yard touchdown off a reverse on fourth down in the fourth quarter put Harvey in position to take the lead, which it did when Mickey Mohner threw a two-point conversion pass to Josh Colo with 4:04 remaining.

Fields, a 5-11 junior, drew praise from the Knights as one of the best players they've faced this year. He had 304 all-purpose yards.

"Every week he comes out and makes bigger and bigger plays," Harvey coach Devlin Culliver said.

Fielding offers:

Harvey coach Devlin Culliver said junior wideout Chris Fields (5-11, 175) has an offer from the University of Akron, and the coach expects Fields to receive offers from Penn State, Michigan State and Ohio University.

"We're waiting on Ohio State," Culliver said. "I have to send them a tape for them to get the offer. Right now, he wants to go to Ohio State. Obviously, he's good enough."

Fields had 302 all-purpose yards against Archbishop Hoban last week.

NEW RECORD: Painesville Harvey QB Mick Mohner set a school total-offense record in a 41-28 victory over Jefferson Area. A first-team All-Ohioan last year, Mohner passed for 281 yards and four TDs and ran for 27 yards. That gave him 3,926 yards, surpassing the old mark set by Sean Seibert (1986-88), who has worked with Mohner for years. The first three of Mohner's TD passes went to Chris Fields on throws of 27, 69 and 10 yards. Fields caught six passes for 144 yards and on his only run of the night he scored from 33 yards out.

Harvey WR has Fields day at Browns combine

High school football

Several of the area's top players were among the nearly 300 athletes who competed Wednesday in the 11th Annual National High School All-Star Combine at the Browns' training facility in Berea.

Harvey wide receiver Chris Fields showed why he is considered one of the state's top prospects. The 6-foot, 181-pounder ran the fastest time in the 40-yard dash (4.39 seconds), posted the top score in the broad jump (10 feet) and also recorded a 36-inch vertical jump and performed 11 repetitions of 185 pounds on the bench press.

"I just wanted to come out and compete and see how I do," Fields said.
Fields, who already has scholarship offers from Akron and Illinois, added an offer from Kansas to his collection earlier this week.

"It's always a good thing," Fields said of the offer from Kansas. "It's getting better as it goes. It's my first Big 12 offer. That's exciting because my former teammate Jeff Spikes plays at Kansas, and it would be good to take a visit to see Jeff."

Fields and his parents visited Ohio State last weekend when the Buckeyes hosted Indiana in basketball.

"The basketball game was a great experience," he said. "It was nice to see the court and the environment. I was up waving my Ohio State towel, and even though we lost, it was a good experience."
