Justin Fields, from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Ga., has been the no. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the nation on 247sports’ 2018 recruiting rankings for some time, and now he’s the no. 1 overall player.
Fields passed another Peach state standout, Trevor Lawrence, to take the top spot. The Clemson commit was considered by many to be the top quarterback in the country regardless of class when he was just a junior.
Lawerence is still no. 1 in the composite rankings, which is an average of all the different 2018 recruiting rankings.
