PREP FOOTBALL: Fairview's Frost named Class 5A Back of the Year finalist
Dec. 25—The accolades continue to pile up for Fairview's Eli Frost.
The Alabama Sports Writers Association on Sunday announced Frost — along with Ramsay's Ashton Ashford and UMS-Wright's Cole Blaylock — as a finalist for Class 5A Back of the Year.
The ASWA released finalists for both Back and Lineman of the Year in each class, and those winners will be announced — as well as Mr. Football and the Super 12 Team — at a banquet set for Jan. 12 at the Montgomery Renaissance.
As a junior, Frost netted 2,484 yards and 39 touchdowns on 235 carries en route to earning All-State (Class 5A First Team), All-Region (Overall MVP) and All-County (Overall MVP) honors. He also shattered school records and became Cullman County's all-time single-season rushing leader.
Frost is the second straight Purple and Gold standout to be named a Class 5A Back of the Year finalist following Parker Martin's selection a season ago.
