What Nate Frazier Brings to Georgia

Five-star running back Nate Frazier has announced his college commitment Sunday afternoon. Here's what the star back brings to Georgia's 2024 recruiting class.

Consensus top-5 running back recruit in the nation, Nate Frazier, is fanning those flames of a smoking hot summer of recruiting as he announced his commitment to the Georgia football program, choosing them over Alabama, Oregon, and Texas A&M.

Frazier is a native of California and plays for Mater Dei High School, a national powerhouse across H.S. football. The momentum of his recruitment began to swing towards UGA after his unofficial visit to Athens in June, which was a loaded visit. He was on this visit with several current Georgia commits, but he also witnessed Chauncey Bowens flip his commitment from the Florida Gators to the Bulldogs.

Frazier now grows UGA's 2024 running back class to three total players, Dwight Phillips Jr., Bowens, and himself.

Here's what Brooks Austin had to say in his evaluation of Nate Frazier: 

FRAME: At 5'11, Frazier has worked hard to pack on the necessary weight to fill out his frame at 208 pounds entering his senior year. Zero bad body weight on an explosive stature.

Athleticism: A 10.5 runner in 100-meter, Frazier has plenty of long speed. Though when you turn the tape on, the first thing you'll notice is his unique ability to start and stop. His short-area burst sets him apart from other talented backs in this class. He runs with a natural knee bend, providing ready-to-go pad-level when carrying the ball. 

Instincts: He has an eye for grass, but the patience to deliver the blocks first as a speedy back. There's a special knack for remaining upright in the midst of contact. Utilizing his compact frame, Frazier's ability to remain upright and balanced is rare for a back known for his game-breaking abilities. 

Polish: Coming from Mater Dei High School in Southern California, Frazier's used to playing against some of the nation's premier competition. There's an inclination to find C-gap and beyond in his running style, but there's evidence that he will thrive in between the tackles in college if and when asked to do so. 

Bottom line: This is a back with top-end speed to match just about anyone in college football, he's got the change of direction to take care of the first free defender on the second level, and the contact balance to be a playmaker after contact. He's an extremely clean evaluation, with few holes in the game.
