Fields among 23 idle players voted preseason All Americans

Sunny 95

COLUMBUS – Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields is among nearly two dozen Associated Press All-Americans who will not be playing football in the fall.

Voters considered all Division I players, even those who had already opted out of the season or whose teams had postponed football.

The results show just how much star power will be missing from this pandemic-altered college football season.

Fields and 11 other players on the second team will be watching from their living rooms.

Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons and Oregon tackle Penei Sewell are among the 11 players selected to the first team who will not be playing.
