Despite his main recruiter leaving the program, three-star offensive lineman Ralph Frias has made his link to the Arizona State Sun Devils official, becoming the seventh player to sign during the early signing period.
Yeah, we wouldn't mess with him either.

You'll have to get through this guy to get to our quarterback. Good luck.
Welcome, Ralph Frias! pic.twitter.com/k0E4JOL6S1
Frias originally committed to ASU on October 27, two and a half weeks after officially receiving a scholarship offer.
Hailing from Safford (Arizona) High School, Frias is one of two in-state prospects joining the program, along with fellow offensive lineman Hunter Mayginnes.
A big body on the line, Frias assisted a Safford offense that averaged over 170 yards per game on the ground. He also got some reps at defensive end, recording 27 total tackles, two sacks and forcing two fumbles for the Bulldogs.
The 6-7, 300-pounder also had offers from San Diego State, Minnesota and UCF, among others, but chose to stay close to home.
