Gotta love what this kid is saying........

After talking with Kelly and spending time around the program, Frazier said he’s confident the Tigers will again be competing for championships soon.

“Coach Kelly is building an empire in Baton Rouge, and I’m excited to be a part of it,” Frazier said. “He will develop LSU to become the best we can be, and I can’t wait to get to work to help him build that. I am confident that he will change everything ASAP.”

I don't recall any LSU player saying that or anything close to it the past two seasons.

LSU Secures Commitment From Offensive Line Transfer Miles Frazier

Tigers now up to 14 commitments in 2022 class, add fourth offensive lineman to group

Offensive line will be a tremendous focus for LSU over the next several weeks and the purple and gold secured another commitment on Friday. FIU transfer Miles Frazier pledged his commitment to the Tigers, bringing the group to a total of 14 players as the early signing period chugs along. 

Frazier, one of the top offensive line transfers in the country, was on campus this weekend to visit the Tigers just a few days before ultimately announcing his commitment. 

The offensive line is in need of a total rebuild with the anticipation of losing multiple starters following the 2021 season. Frazier's addition to a group that includes highly touted offensive tackle Will Campbell, Bo Bordelon and interior lineman Emery Jones. 

Brian Kelly has been known to recruit and produce elite offensive line talent over his tenure at Notre Dame and likely isn't done recruiting offensive line talent in this class. Frazier appeared in 12 games at FIU before electing to enter the transfer portal. Kelly also added quarterback Myles Brennan back to the roster, capping off a huge day two for the Tigers with the focus on the transfer portal.

Top OL Transfer Miles Frazier Talks LSU Decision, Brian Kelly

After collecting more than 30 transfer offers, FIU offensive lineman Miles Frazier is Baton Rouge bound

 
 

Brian Kelly's start at LSU has been tangibly interesting, from the way he bolted for Baton Rouge to the early returns on his roster building, and plenty in between. 

After Kelly hit the road to recruit, the Early Signing Period came and went with the Tigers outside of the updated Sports Illustrated team recruiting rankings. The program signed just 13 high school recruits last week, with only Walker Howard among the nation's top prospects to pick LSU. But transfer recruits carry their own perception, especially with staffs in transition, and one of the biggest non-quarterback wins in the portal thus far is that of Miles Frazier picking the Tigers over 33 other opportunities. 

The Florida International offensive tackle, who started in 2021 and earned All Conference USA honors from Pro Football Focus, picked LSU over Ohio State and Florida State down the home stretch. It was on a Tiger trip, with Kelly playing a large part while the New Jersey native was in town, where 34 options were eventually trimmed to just one. 

"The relationship with Coach (Brad) Davis, who the offensive line coach, and Coach Kelly, the head coach, is special," Frazier told SI. "When I got to Baton Rouge I talked to all the coaches, training staff, weight room staff and got to know how they can help develop me. I know how Coach Davis and Coach Kelly, over the years, have developed some of the best O-lines in the country. 

"I am confident that their plan for me and the program is great for me to be successful as an offensive lineman and to win in the SEC."

The redshirt freshman, who stands 6'5", 304 pounds per FIU Athletics, will have three seasons of eligibility to navigate at LSU. He took an additional trip to North Carolina State and spent time in Columbus for a closer look at the Buckeyes, at least virtually, in between in-home visits from just about half of the staffs eyeing trench help on offense. 

There's little doubt that LSU being the only finalist to get the coveted tackle on campus for an extended period, on the final weekend of the contact period no less -- paid off.

"On the visit I just got that 'feeling' that I belong and this is home," Frazier said of LSU. "And like I said on Twitter before, there’s no place like Death Valley. I have built good relationships with the players and coaching staff and I feel like this move will position me to grow as a player and man.
