The 6-foot-5.5, 260-pound recruit is also visiting Oregon (March 14-17) and Michigan (March 17-20) this month. Meanwhile, he was at LSU last weekend.

Frazier currently holds 25 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Wolverines have a commanding lead for his commitment at 92.7%

Texas offered Frazier on Jan. 21. He then visited the Longhorns’ campus nine days later.

“Getting that offer was a big deal,” Frazier told On3’s Sam Spiegelman on Feb. 14. “Being 20 minutes away from Texas, all you hear about from friends is about Texas, how their basketball team is doing, how the quarterback battle with Arch (Manning) and Quinn (Ewers) is gonna go, and you get a lot of different emotions going through your head.”

Offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Kyle Flood is a key reason for Frazier’s interest in Texas.

“Coach Flood at Texas is an amazing guy,” Frazier said. “He’s a little bit different. Everyone has different ways of coaching. He’s very straightforward. In his words, he’s a 52-year-old coach, not a 52-year-old friend, and I liked how he put that. A coach can be great, but also not baby you as well.”

Frazier has an On3 NIL Valuation of $49K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
