Frazer to Transfer from Notre Dame

After Coach Charlie Weis’ announcement that the Notre Dame starting QB position is going to be decided upon by a three person competition between Jimmy Clausen, Evan Sharpley and Demetrius Jones, the one potential QB who was snubbed, Zach Frazer, is apparently considering transferring to another school in order to get an opportunity to play. Frazer himself did not have anything to say about the potential switch, but his father made Zach’s feelings clear.

Said David Frazer, “If the opportunity is out there and they (other schools) come calling, he wants to play. He’s a kid that wants to play. He’s not going to run the scout team or do mop-up duty, he wants to play.

Last week the four young quarterbacks lined up in formal wear for the first elimination ceremony. Weis had only three roses, which he offered to Jimmy, Evan and Demetrius. After the final rose was presented, the camera zoomed in on Zach’s face, which showed a mixture of disappointment and masked disappointment. Weis and Zach then embraced in an awkward hug, before Zach walked away from the ceremony alone with a voice over of himself waxing philosophical about the acceptance of failures while striving for goals, a new desire to focus on finding a school that will give him some playing time, and what an amazing experience this all has been.
