Reflections Jaimie Frasure will realize a dream on Saturday when he plays in Ohio Stadium for the Youngstown State Penguins against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. But the former Lakeside great couldn’t help but reflect on his gridiron beginnings last night as he spoke about the game in Columbus. “I’ve been playing football since I was 7,” he said with a laugh. “My first team was the Ashtabula Jets playing midget ball. “That was my team!” That’s where he caught the bug, so to speak. “I knew right away I loved the game,” Frasure said. “I loved everything about it.” And that itch has never been scratched. “I went on to Columbus Junior High and then to Lakeside,” he said. “Playing for Coach (Jay) Corlew there was a great, great experience.” Having earned All-Ohio recognition as a junior at linebacker, Frasure struggled through a torn tendon as a senior. “All of a sudden, the phones went silent on me,” he said. “The colleges quit calling.” Enter Sean Allgood, who starred at Ashtabula High School and then played collegiately at Northern Illinois. “Coach Allgood really saved me in terms of the recruiting process,” Frasure said. “He helped me make sense of a lot of things that were going on then.”
