I had the opportunity to watch Frayer play against Concordia Prep a few weeks ago. He made and was in on many tackles, mostly coming off the edge. Size-wise, he’s not the biggest. However, he consistently beat blocks and made plays. When he wasn’t blocked, his job was even easier. Now, I haven’t seen enough of him to say for sure he could convert to a strong safety at the next level. That said, Frayer would probably be most comfortable at the next level down in the box. Some solid linebackers rank ahead of him, but he could improve his ranking by the end of the season.

I had the opportunity to watch Frayer a couple of weeks ago against Concordia Prep. This evaluation is based on his 3-game highlights, but it’s close to what I saw in person. Frayer plays at the line of scrimmage, and that’s where he makes the most impact, right in the box. He fits the mold of a hybrid OLB/SS.

Frayer is solid at setting the edge and containing the play. In one play, he initially gets blocked by the offensive tackle, fights to stay outside, then peels when the quarterback breaks contain and finishes the sack. Frayer can hold the edge when he stays square.

He lines up as a standing outside linebacker, so most of the time Frayer is going against bigger players. There are a few snaps where he takes the first contact from the tackle, then disengages and finds the ball. Despite being undersized, he has active hands and does not stay blocked.
