SoCal athlete nearing first offer
Athlete prospect Fred Glaster (5-11, 186, 4.52) is another from West Covina (Calif.) South Hills who is beginning to garner D-I attention. He has had a busy summer improving his skills at the USC and Colorado State football camps.
Glaster has worked hard on improving his speed and he's done a great job at that improving his 40-time from 4.66 the time he recorded at the NIKE Camp held in Los Angeles to 4.52 at the Colorado State camp.

Glaster also recorded a solid 4.36 shuttle run and a 29-inch vertical.
On the defensive side of the ball Glaster played weak side linebacker and racked up 82 tackles, four sacks, two fumble recoveries and one interception. This season, Glaster will be playing his more natural free safety and big things are once again expected of him this fall.
Offensively Glaster is just as good. He rushed for 672 yards on 96 carries (7.0 avg.), caught 12 passes for 126 yards (10.5 avg.), scored 11 touchdowns (10 rushing and one passing) and averaged 21 yards on kickoff return.
The talented Glaster will play running back and wide receiver this season.
To put it mildly, Fred is one of our best athletes on our team this year," South Hills coach James Escarcega said. "He is a dream for a college coach because you can put him anywhere on the field and he will excel."
"We've even asked him to play a little corner for us in passing league and he has looked just as good there," Escarcega said. "Fred is one of those players who moves very smoothly around the football field."
"It may not appear at first, but Fred covers a lot of ground in a hurry," Escarcega said. "That was one of the first reasons why San Diego State came after him in a hurry in the early part of the spring. They loved his highlight tape and are coming after him very hard."
Colorado State was also impressed with Glaster while at their football camp and will be recruiting him as well. The Utah Utes also have Glaster on their radar screen.
With a solid senior season look for more D-I schools to jump on Glaster's bandwagon.
