A Step Ahead: Jim Stefani's Underclassmen Football Recruiting Blog: 2006-11-05

South isn't known for churning out D-1 talent, but that should change over the next couple of years with Reid Fragel and the state's leading receiver, junior James Saros, on their way to becoming blue-chip recruits. Being my hometown, I've had a chance to see Reid play and he has a great frame and surprising athleticism for such a tall player. He has good bloodlines, as his older brother Mark was a lineman with Miami (Ohio) and his dad played at Michigan State and Northern Michigan. He's a superior prospect to his brother. Has been to several summer camps and looked good at the Michigan and Northwestern camps. Also plays DE. Outstanding student.

By A. Trieu. Interview with Fragel's father. They have been to Michigan State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa, and Notre Dame so far, and will continue to visit schools now that the season is over. Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and USC have all invited the Fragels to games as well. He will be at the AA junior combine.

From GBW...talks about how a few schools sent info to him at Grosse Pointe North instead of South. Talks about his visit to OSU as well as junior days at UM and MSU. Talks about he can see himself at a couple of different positions at the next level.

Reid Fragel, TE, Grosse Pointe South, 6-7/255/4.88: Fragel showed during the camp that the belief that he can play tight end at the college level isn't unfounded. While it's clear he'd be a bigger, more traditional style of tight end, he runs well and even managed to get deep on the defense a few times. That said, his fluidity further exposed his major potential at offensive tackle. Ohio State recently indicated it would recruit him at tight end, while both Michigan and Michigan State covet him more as an offensive tackle. None have offered yet, but that will likely change in the coming months. The key question for Fragel will be: What will weigh heavier in his recruitment -- the position he wants to play, or the position in which he has the most upside?
