Tony Fields, Safety, Jacksonville Jaguars Mini-Camp

Early this morning Tony Fields earned himself an invitation to the Jaguars rookie mini-camp. Tony Fields was a beast during his tenure with the Hoosiers in Bloomington. Throughout his productive career at Indiana, Tony Fields proved he’s capable of making big plays in the passing game and stepping up to make tackles in the running game. Fields made an impact immediately for the Hoosiers. As a true freshman, he saw action in all 12 games and recorded 14 tackles. During Fields’ sophomore year he played in 13 games and recorded 19 tackles. His most memorable moment of the season was the first interception of his career. He ran it back 20 yards for a touchdown.

IUFB Pro Day Primer: Safety Tony Fields

Written By Evan McShane (@veryreasonable)

Tony Fields is hungry to continue his football career as he will participate in IU’s Pro Day on April 3 in Bloomington. Fields joined Indiana University as part of the 2014 recruiting class. He joined IU as a top-100 defensive back from Amos P. Godby High School in Tallahassee, Forida, was brought into IU to provide stability in the secondary. Fields was a two-time All-State selection as a safety in high school, where he earned a spot as the 44th best safety of his class. He had a successful two-year basketball career before devoting his athleticism entirely to football. Fields was extremely diligent growing up, both on and off the field. He won an academic award his senior year of high school on top of being an honors student for four straight years. Indiana knew they were getting a stand-up guy, and Tony Fields would further prove himself in Bloomington as a stellar football player and outstanding individual.

Week Two Match-Up to Watch: Jonathan Crawford & Tony Fields vs. Virginia's Wide Receivers

Written By Alex Compton (@Alexncompton)

Week one came and went, and just like that, IU is back on the road in a nearly must-win situation. They played decently against Ohio State on Thursday, but the big plays and inability to run the ball effectively ultimately doomed the Hoosiers in their quest for one of the biggest wins in school history. IU has now completely shifted their focus to the Virginia Cavaliers, who are fresh off a 2-10 season and a 28-10 win over FCS William & Mary. The big plays I just talked about killed Indiana on Thursday, and that is my matchup to watch for this week.

If you have been following our site throughout the offseason, you’ll know we have made no attempt to hide how good we think IU’s secondary has a chance to be in 2017. The Hoosiers return every contributor from last year and add a few potentially impactful newcomers to form a group that could be the best we’ve seen in Bloomington for my lifetime (for your reference, I turn 30 in September). Today’s position preview focuses on a part of that secondary: the safeties.

The Key For the IU Safeties is to Go From Knowing the Defense to Understanding it

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

Hoosier Nation saw what the right mindset on defense could do for a unit as the IU defense went from one of the worst defenses in the country to one that their team had to lean on to get to their second straight bowl game. Heading into the 2017 season the question is what is the next step for a defense that improved their points allowed by 10.2 points per game. According to safeties coach Noah Joseph, that step is going from knowing the defense to understanding it.
