NC State is beginning to prepare for its season-opener against Troy (we're so close, y'all!), which means it's time to start getting in some reps against the scout team. True freshman Johnny Frasier was one of the players working with the scout group, per Joe Giglio.

That's not necessarily a surprise, Dave Doeren has hinted at such throughout camp

If Frasier does go the redshirt route, the reasons for it are clear: first and foremost, he stepped into an already crowded backfield, with Shad Thornton and Matt Dayes returning, not to mention Jaylen Samuels, who could provide help there if need be.
