Knoch graduate Fraser following Gustafson’s model in becoming Grove City College’s go-to receiver
GROVE CITY — Wide receiver Scott Fraser’s recipe for success on the football field at Knoch High School was a simple one.
“Just go to a spot and out-jump guys for the ball,” the 6-foot-4 Fraser said.
College football? Different story. But Fraser had a good teacher.
The Grove City College junior played alongside Cody Gustafson — GCC’s all-time leading receiver — as a sophomore last year and learned by mostly watching him as a freshman. Gustafson compiled seasons of 1,420, 1,246 and 1,224 receiving yards for the Wolverines before graduating last spring.
“If not for Cody, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing right now,” Fraser said. “He showed me how to succeed at this level, taught me the importance of accurate and effective route-running.
“There’s always a way to get open. He proved that every game.”
