Being my hometown, I've had a chance to see Reid play and he has a great frame and surprising athleticism for such a tall player. He has good bloodlines, as his older brother Mark was a lineman with Miami (Ohio) and his dad played at Michigan State and Northern Michigan. He's a superior prospect to his brother. Has been to several summer camps and looked good at the Michigan and Northwestern camps. Also plays DE. Outstanding student.

Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and USC have all invited the Fragels to games as well. He will be at the AA junior combine.

Word is he is a possible target...more info as it becomes available. Certainly fits the mold of an OSU TE...similar size to Ballard coming out of Middletown.

I like the height, but wouldnt it be a huge order to ask him to gain 70 some lbs.??

45, thanks for the thread. Looks like a great target possibly. Not sure what you mean, though with the Middletown reference? I thought Ballard came out of Springboro. Just checking.

I read somewhere where he's like 250 pounds now, so I think he's alot closer to OL weight then most people think. Michigan is recruiting him as a mobile OL.
