Princeton High School running back Johnny Frasier signed his letter of intent to play football with the NC State Wolfpack Wednesday.

Frasier had previously committed to Florida State University but said that after he committed it was the NC State coaching staff that stayed in touch until the end.

"After I committed I didn’t really talk to the coaches much so that showed me that, 'I hardly talk to y’all what’s going to happen when I get there?' Even though wasn’t committed to State they were actually there," said Frasier. "They were one of the two or three schools that still recruited me even though I was committed. That showed me how bad they wanted me."

The NC State coaching staff's persistence paid off and Frasier looks forward to joining Wolfpack Nation in the fall.

"They are great people, they are just always there and they show you that it’s not just a football team it’s a family," Frasier said.

"This whole process, when he's looking at colleges and deciding where he wants to go he always puts education first, he's always looking at 'how am I going to fit into the family there?' We preach family a lot here and taking care of each other and you've got your brothers on your team," said Princeton head coach Derrick Minor. "I think that was important to him when he was looking for a college and I think that's why he chose NC State."

At 5-foot-10 and 229 pounds and hard to miss, Frasier said he's already felt a lot of love from Wolfpack fans.

"Oh god, on a scale of 1-10 a 25. They’re everywhere," said Frasier. "Even when I’m randomly eating by myself people are tweeting me like ‘Oh I see you man, much love Wolfpack Nation’ I’m like ‘wow that’s insane.’"

The senior is ready to see what playing at the college level is all about and said he's going to do big things in red and white.

"Big things, huge things, huge. When I get to the next level I know it’s not a game anymore it’s competition," said Frasier. "And I’m going to be the best and I’m going to push myself to be the best and I’m sure all the coaches and players on NC State will push me to be the best and that’s what I want to be."

Frasier is the No. 2 running back in the Class of 2015, according to 247Sports.com. The recruiting website ranks him the No. 44 overall player in the class and rates him a four-star prospect.

During his senior season, Frasier rushed for 2,266 yards and 33 touchdowns for the Bulldogs. He also caught 21 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns.

For his career, which spanned three seasons at Princeton, Frasier rushed for 7,100 yards on 691 carries, averaging 10.3 yards per rush and 173.2 rushing yards per game. He scored a total of 109 touchdowns, including 99 rushing touchdowns.

Prior to committing to NC State, Frasier was also considering offers from Alabama, Duke, East Carolina and Tennessee.
