Lists and commitment dates continue to form on many of the top targets. Earlier today the No. 2 ranked running back in the country, per the On3 Industry Rankings, Nathaniel Frazier, named his top eight schools.

On3’s Hayes Fawcett reports Oregon, Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M, Miami, Auburn, Nebraska and Tennessee are his finalists.

The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder is the No. 1 ranked running back with On3. Frazier recently jumped in the rankings on Monday to the No. 15 overall player in the country.

Although he named eight schools as finalists, Oregon, Georgia and Alabama have generated the most buzz to this point. Texas A&M has also generated some recent buzz with the four-star as well.

In a recent update with On3’s Chad Simmons, Frazier said he would like to make a decision prior to the start of his senior season.

“Coach Carlos Locklyn is cool,” Frazier said. “My official visit up there was nice. It is always fun to be up there around Coach Locklyn, Coach Dan Lanning and some players I know. Oregon is just a cool place with great facilities, a big brand and a lot of opportunities.”

On3 Scouting Report:

Dynamic every down back with projectable size and home run ability. Measured in at 5-foot-10.5, 206 pounds in the spring prior to his senior season. Has some of the best long speed among top running backs in the 2024 cycle, running a wind-legal 10.77 mark in the 100 meters as a junior. Carries that speed over to the field where he displays arguably the best burst among 2024 running back prospects. Explodes through the hole and consistently defeats defenders’ angles as an outside runner. Has the long speed to pull away once in the open field. Runs with outstanding pace. Makes defenders miss at a high rate, with lateral agility. Side-steps tacklers in confined spaces. Runs with high-level contact balance. Stays grounded on contact and spins out of tackles. Dangerous in the screen game and has upside as a pass catcher given his showings on the camp circuit. Transferred to powerhouse Mater Dei as a junior and split carries in a talented backfield. Does not have the workload or production of most other top running back prospects, but is highly efficient. Rushed for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 61 carries (11.4 yards per carry) as a junior. More of a skill set evaluation than a pure high school football resume builder heading into his senior season.
