Miles Frazier is listening to all offers coming his way, the FIU offensive lineman now with 25 offers after entering the transfer portal this week.
The Camden, N.J. prospect, who had just five offers coming out of high school and 13 offers after finishing a post-graduate year, tells ‘Rutgers Wire’ that he will be visiting Rutgers this weekend for an unofficial visit. Frazier was offered by Rutgers on Tuesday afternoon.
He said that within five minutes of entering the portal, a Rutgers assistant coach reached out to him. Talk about efficiency.
In fact, Rutgers was the first school to make contact with him. Then assistant coach Fran Brown made the next contact.
“And then I know coach Fran – he’s from where I’m from. He recruited me at Temple and I know him as well. So I got on the phone with him for the past two days,” Frazier told ‘Rutgers Wire.’
“I got on the phone with the offensive line coach yesterday, coach Fran and the offensive coordinator and today I got on the phone with all three of them and coach Schiano. And then he offered me.”

Frazier hopes to make a decision in or around Christmas time.
Last season as a redshirt freshman, Frazier made 12 starts for FIU.

Of the programs that have offered, Frazier says that Florida State, Rutgers, Arizona State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Miami, Virginia and Syracuse. He doesn’t have any favorites right now even as things are beginning to heat up for him.
Florida State, Iowa State and Arizona State are planning visits for him at his house. The following weekend, he hopes to make unofficial visits at North Carolina and North Carolina State while down in the area for his brother’s graduation.
The Rutgers offer does have certain appeal for the fact that Frazier is from south Jersey. But location isn’t the only factor for Frazier.
“Right now I’m weighing my a lot because like how much growth I feel like I’ve had coming down south,” Frazier said. “But at the end of the day, I’m a Jersey guy. I got a Jersey tattoo. I look forward to breaks from school to go home, see my family for that so so it is appealing, but I’m still open to going anywhere.”
In terms of what he is looking for, he’s looking for fit as well as support. It doesn’t matter, he says, if a program is established or rebuilding. Location doesn’t matter.

Fit does.
“Basically, a place that can help me develop as a human being and a player. I love competition, I love working. So, really, I’m ready to work anywhere I go,” Frazier said.
“A lot of schools have told me their o-line situation and I’m just trying to help a team. If they’re not winning yet, then win and get to a bowl game or championship. Because to turn that up, the players on the team as well as myself get noticed by NFL scouts. What we didn’t have at FIU, we’d have the university have the football team’s back.”
