A Don McCormack column: Frasure remembers his roots
DON McCORMACK Star Beacon
Frasure said it’s all worked out, though.
“Turns out, YSU is the perfect place for me,” he said. “I’m comfortable here, I like the school and I’m playing football.”
Being in the defensive-line rotation against the nation’s second-ranked team means Frasure is enjoying success on the field. However, he’s also doing well off the field.
“I had a 3.2 grade-point average last semester,” the health and physical-education major said. “I’m doing well in the classroom.”
And the 21-year-old hasn’t forgotten his roots, either.
“I want to become a teacher and a football coach,” he said. “I remember how important all of my coaches and teachers were to me growing up and I hope to be able to give something back.
“I’ve never forgotten how much fun I had fun playing as a kid. I want to help other kids to have the same opportunities I did.”
Block party
One other caveat on Frasure — he will line up as part of YSU’s wedge on its kickoff return team.
“It’s a blast!” he said. “I’ve always been a contact guy, and with all those big guys running all the way down the field at full speed, it usually means there’s a lot of bigtime collisions.
“I like that!”
