Tommy Frazier  - Manatee HS/Nebraska 

There are actually 2 correct answers!   One is Tommie Frazier of Manatee High School.  He led Manatee to a state title as a sophomore in 1989, was a 2-time first team All-state selection, and was a USA Today All American in 1991.

At the University of Nebraska, he was the Big 8 Offensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American in 1995, as well as runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting behind running back Eddie George of Ohio St.  Many thought Frazier should have won.

Due to health issues, he was not drafted in the NFL.  He served for a time as an asst coach at Baylor University.

Good job Hwy17!

Who is the other famous FL hs qb who meets the criteria above?

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

      Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

      They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.
