PRINCETON -- Johnny Frasier is undoubtedly getting a lot of attention from Division I coaches during the offseason.
So, who is gonna knock on the door of head coach Derrick Minor's at the Princeton High field house next?
Perennial Big 10 power Ohio State University became the latest Division I school to make an offer to Frasier, who was recently named "Mr. 1-A Football" by NCPreps.com. Fellow Big 10 member Michigan has made an offer, and BCS champion Florida State is expected to call on Frasier later this week.
To date, Frasier has received offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, N.C. State, Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest. Frasier is allowed to verbally commit as a junior, but cannot officially sign until his senior year.
"This has been an amazing time for Johnny and Princeton football," said Minor, who tweeted a pic of himself with Georgia head coach Mark Richt late last week.
"This proves that good things happen to good people and it doesn't matter what size school you are at when you work hard and use the talent the Lord has blessed you with, all things are possible."
A two-year starter in the backfield, Frasier earned a spot on the 2013 NCPreps.com 1-A All-State squad. He was named the News-Argus Offensive Player-of-the-Year and garnered all-Carolina 1-A Conference honors.
