The theme for the 2014 senior class is “leaving your mark.” Senior Josh Frazier is leaving a mark that will be made known throughout the country. On Sept 30, the junior and senior classes shuffled down into the gym to see the exciting moment where Frazier was officially asked to join the U.S. Army All American Football Team.
Even though he knew last year that he was going to be apart of this team, he was pretty excited for the adventure that lies ahead.
“When they finally officially selected me, it was pretty awesome being there in front of all my friends and family,” Frazier said. It wasn’t official for Frazier until all his friends and family were there to experience the exciting moment with him.
“It’s really awesome. I guess cause you’ll be playing against the top football players in the country,” said Frazier of finding that he was being asked to play for the team.
Frazier feels beyond honored to be considered in the top 90 players in the nation. When asked about what the viewers will expect at the game, Frazier said, “hustle, going after the ball, and being in the right spot.
Frazier is expecting to start speed training in the upcoming months and to continue to work out with the HBHS football team until the end of his high school football career.
When asked about what the future brings, Frazier strongly informs that he is focusing on “the right now.” Though he did reveal that he hopes to go to a college where they will accept him for him, and develop a relationship with him. His ultimate goal is to one day play for the NFL.
For Frazier, the bible verse Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans,” is his motivation and the quote that keeps him going.
