<description><![CDATA[If you had to build a Mark Dantonio recruit from scratch, he would probably end up pretty close to Chris Frey, the newest prospect to verbally commit to the Spartans in the 2014 class. He's from Ohio (Upper Arlington High School), a place this staff has regularly recruited since before their time in East Lansing. He's also a tough, hard-nosed linebacker who earned MVP honors at the Best of the Midwest Combine, where he had to be removed from part of a 7-on-7 for leveling an unsuspecting receiver coming over the middle.<br />]]></description>
