College Football: 10 Group of Five Signees to watch in 2022
By Kathryn Rose
Before flipping to UTSA in February, Zahquan Frazier was a Kentucky commit.
Frazier is a junior college transfer, and the most intriguing thing about him is his sheer size. It is hard to find a 6-foot-4 corner, and Frazier uses that size well. He bothers receivers and throws off their concentration. What shows that off is his 11 pass breakups in nine games during JUCO ball last year.
He isn’t the most athletic prospect, but he’s got a high motor that should make up for it at the college level.
Nikai Martinez is a more conventionally-sized corner, coming in at 5-foot-11 and weighing 175 pounds.
What made him a four-star recruit in the 247 composite rankings is his athleticism. Martinez flashes most of his big-play ability on punt returns, where he can outrun everyone and not think too much about it.
At corner, he’s got good vision compared to his peers and runs through every receiver that tries to block him. His big knock is that he does try to go for interceptions quite a bit, and this puts him out of position at times.
This makes him a fun player to watch, though.
