From Notre Dame to UConn

In basketball, that would be a step up. In football, not so much.

Zach Frazer was one of the first players recruited by ND Head Coach Charlie Weis. After finding himself at #4 on the QB depth chart after the spring practices, the redshirt freshman QB decided to look at other options.

Frazer narrowed his choices to a couple Big East teams: Cincinnati and Connecticut. Connecticut had recruited him very early back in 2005.

UConn, along with Penn State, Duke, Syracuse, Louisville and Georgia Tech, had been in the running for Frazer before he chose Notre Dame.

"I know he holds Randy Edsall and [UConn offensive coordinator] Rob Ambrose in high regard because of the way they recruited him two years ago," David Frazer said. "The academics there is also a very important factor for him. I think the biggest thing is that it's going to come down to the opportunity to play and his gut feeling as to where he best fits."

Frazer made his choice this weekend an decided that UConn offered him the best opportunity. He will be sitting out the upcoming season, as a transfer but will have 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Considering UConn hasn't had a stable QB situation since the immortal Dan Orlovsky finished the 2004 season, this will be a big boost for the Huskies next year.
