Miles Frazier is one of the hottest names in the transfer portal right now, the former FIU offensive lineman is looking to make an impact immediately for wherever he ends up. He also wants a place that will give him support.
Something, Frazier says, that he didn’t necessarily feel he got at FIU, leading him to transfer.
“So to make a long story short, when I had committed here after prep school when I had signed a National Letter of Intent, my offensive line had left,” Frazier told ‘Rutgers Wire.’

“At that point, I still had a good relationship – with my head coach and the offensive coordinator, I think but I wasn’t really versed about the issue of my coach leaving so I stayed away. I’ve been here for two years, played 17 games here. I would never regret going here for anything. But I feel as though as a program, the coaches are great coaches. But the administration and university – they don’t give us the tools to succeed at the highest level. So that was the first part of the reason. The second part of the reason: I’m trying to look I’m trying to find a program that would be the best…where I can help them win a championship, bowl games, those games and they can help me develop as a man outside of football…as a person, like as a football player.
“And last but not least, I want a degree that really holds weight in society and in the world.”
As of Tuesday night, Frazier held 25 offers and was expecting at-home visits this week from Arizona State and Florida State. From Camden, N.J., Frazier will take an unofficial visit this weekend at Rutgers.
He is planning on visiting North Carolina and North Carolina State next weekend.
The type of program doesn’t matter too much to Frazier nor does location. Support and environment are very important to him. And it doesn’t matter to him if it is a winning team or a rebuilding program.

“Either winning programs or helping a team. I like a challenge, but at the same time I’m all about winning in like my mindset,” Frazier said.
“So with different teams and me I’m definitely looking for playing time and perhaps starting on next school, and I don’t want anything given to me. I would like to earn it so basically like either way, like even if the program has losing and I can try to help rebuild, or even if they have been winning, and I can help them continue to have success. I definitely want to definitely start, to compete and start where I can help.”
