Matt Frier  Suwannee

 

Guy looked familiar and I remember him speaking at a banquet a few years ago and he played at FSU with Reinard Wilson who was a star at Columbia, FSU and eventually the Cincinnati Bengals 

 

Didn't he win multiple state titles at Suwannee as well?

Great hands. Saw him win a championship. Reinard's cousins Vince,Tony, and Kenny Wilson all starred for Daytona Mainland. Best football bothers to ever put on the blue and gold uniform...and all three could fly on a track.

Matt Frier starred as a wide receiver for the Suwanee Bulldogs from 1986-89, finishing his career with back-to-back state championships his junior and senior year. He finished his prep career with a state-record 220 receptions for 3,688 yards and 41 touchdowns. The Orlando Sentinel named him the Florida Player of the Year as a junior after catching 64 balls for 1,035 yards and 15 scores. As a senior, he set the state record with 99 receptions, totaling 1,716 yards and 19 touchdowns.  He was also a three-year letterman for the SHS baseball team.

After graduating Suwanee, Frier won four bowl games as a starter at Florida State University, culminating in 1993 when he was voted captain and led the Seminoles to the national championship with an 18-16 victory against Nebraska. Thanks to his popularity and success in college, Frier organized two separate equipment fundraisers for FHSAA football programs and was able to raise more than $40,000.
