It would seem Kiehl Frazier (Springdale, Ark./Shiloh Christian) had nothing to prove, with offers from many of the top programs in the country, but that clearly wasn't the case at Saturday's EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Frazier continues to show why he is considered one of the top prospects in the country with another eye-catching performance, competing against a field that included talents such as Kendal Thompson (Moore, Okla./Southmoore), J.W. Walsh (Corinth, Texas/Denton Guyer), Michael Brewer (Austin, Texas/Lake Travis), Russell Bellomy (Arlington, Texas/Martin) and up-and-coming sophomore Matt Davis (Houston, Texas/Klein Forest).
"It's fun to come out and compete with all these good quarterbacks out here," Said Frazier, who didn't want it to be known before hand that he has a sports hernia that will require surgery on Tuesday. "There is so much potential and talent out here, just to get to compare myself with them is a chance to get better. The drills were great. Some of the drills like the bungy footwork drill were tough. They gave us some good tips that I can take home and work on."
Competing at the camp was the last part of a big weekend for Frazier, who visited Oklahoma on Friday. Saturday began with an unofficial visit to TCU (where the Elite 11 was held) for the annual purple and white game and a first chance to sit down with members of the Horned Frogs staff.
"It was fun. I met with coach [Justin] Fuente, coach [Gary] Patterson and met with the quarterbacks. I didn't know what to expect, but TCU probably moved up on my list because I had a great experience down here," Said Frazier, who took in the spring game from the sidelines.
TCU is the latest program to get in the mix for the All-American. Among more than 15 offers, four programs are recruiting Frazier the hardest with key relationships being built.
"Probably Arkansas, Miami and Kansas State are recruiting me the hardest and UCLA just got in the mix and are starting to come on. It's probably those four schools. I've built relationships with coach [Gus] Malzahan of Auburn because he is the first one who ever recruited me, coach [Garrick] McGhee because he is close at Arkansas, Coach Kyle Williams at Kansas State because he recruits me and today I got to know coach Fuente and coach Patterson and they impressed me a lot."
Trips to both coasts are being planned for the spring and summer.
"We'll probably go to Miami and Florida, because they are Florida, and UCLA and USC. After those four, I'm really not sure." Frazier said.
Finding the comfort with the chance to compete right away will be the perfect fit for the budding star.
"I really don't have a certain thing [as far as a scheme] I'm looking for. I'm just looking for where I fit, I'm comfortable and can come in and compete is what I'm looking for."
Arkansas, Auburn, UCLA, Kansas State, Miami and Florida are considered the early favorites.
