Jessica Fields, sister of Steelers’ Justin Fields, commits to Michigan women’s basketball

The Michigan women’s basketball program added a significant addition to its 2025 recruiting class. And she has a last name that is familiar to Wolverines fans.

Power forward Jessica Fields committed to coach Kim Barnes Arico and Michigan on Sunday. She is the younger sister of former Ohio State football and current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields. Fields’ sister, Jaiden Fields, played softball at Georgia. Fields does not yet have a ranking on 247Sports composite rankings, but picked the Wolverines over offers from Northwestern and Georgetown.

Fields committed to Michigan after visiting each of the three finalists. She announced her commitment on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday afternoon.

“I was ready to wrap up my recruitment process,” Fields said to On3 Sports. “I started very early in eighth grade, so it’s been a very long process. I got to see both of my siblings go through it, so I always looked forward to when coaches would finally focus on me in visits instead of being the little sibling running around.”

Fields is entering her senior season at Mount Paran Christian School in Kennesaw, Georgia. Fields joins 4-star guard McKenzie Mathurin in the 2025 recruiting class for the Wolverines. Mathurin is the No. 7 overall player and the No. 2 shooting guard in the recruiting class. She committed to U-M on Aug. 7.
