University of West Alabama Athletics

Andrew Fields, a native of Birmingham, Ala., was a standout wide receiver for the Tigers under Head Coaches Frank North (1983-84) and Sam McCorkle (1985). In his best season at West Alabama in 1984, Fields hauled in 55 receptions for 856 yards and 11 touchdowns on his way to earning First Team Kodak All-American honors. All told, Fields caught 116 passes for 1,837 yards over his career. He was an All-Gulf South Conference selection in 1983 and 1984, and his 24 touchdowns set a UWA record at the time. In addition to being a standout receiver, Fields was also one of the most prolific punt returners in school history. His 550 punt return yards during his career still stands third all-time, and 311 of those yards came on 31 returns in 1983, which is still the best mark in UWA history.
