Josh Fryar honored as an All-American

Beech Grove, IN (December 9, 2019) — The All-American Bowl Selection Tour was at Beech Grove High School on Monday to award four-star offensive lineman Josh Fryar with his jersey to play in this year’s game.

Fryar is tabbed as the No. 1 recruit in Indiana and No. 12 offensive guard in the country. He is committed to Ohio State.

“It was great,” Fryar said of his ceremony. “I loved it. It was kind of exciting seeing this whole All American thing. I’ve been seeing it for the past few years and I’m excited to be part of it.”


Fryar is part of roughly 90 of the nation’s best high school football players headed to San Antonio to play in the All-American Bowl on Jan. 4. NBC will have the national broadcast from inside the Alamo Dome.

“Competition,” Fryar said of what he’s looking forward to. “Just competing against the best guys in the nation and especially seeing how I match up against them.”

The 6-foot-5 1/2, 305-pound Fryar committed to the Buckeyes on July 4 over his other finalists Indiana, Oregon and Penn State. He remains fully locked in and will put pen to paper during the Early Signing Period on Dec. 18.

“The atmosphere around the program right now is electric,” Fryar said. “Coach (Greg) Studwara has the offensive line right and Coach Mick (Marotti) obviously I think is the greatest weight lifting coach, strength coordinator, whatever you want to call it in the nation. They’re just rolling right now and it’s all built on toughness.”

Fryar is part of an Ohio State class that ranks No. 4 nationally. He is joined by Paris Johnson Jr., Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Gee Scott Jr., Lathan Ransom, Luke Wypler, Cody Simon and Kourt Williams as an All-American.
