Tommie Frazier

Tommie Frazier is in his first year as Assistant Director of Athletic Development working directly under Assistant Athletic Director for Development Paul Meyers. In his new position, Frazier will help spearhead all fund-raising efforts for all Athletic Department projects, and will play a key part in Nebraska’s Husker Nation Championship Drive, which will fund the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex and the stadium expansion, a project announced by Pederson on Nov. 6.

The 29-year-old Frazier is proud to be a part of the Husker Athletic Department and renew his association with Nebraska athletics that began as a freshman quarterback in 1992.

Frazier has been working in private business in Omaha for the past several months since leaving the coaching profession. Frazier was an assistant football coach at Baylor for four seasons under Kevin Steele. Before joining the staff at Baylor, Frazier worked at NT&T in Omaha for more than a year and was on Gov. Ben Nelson’s staff for about a year. Frazier played one season for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes in 1996, before retiring from football.

One of 15 former Husker players to have their jersey retired at Nebraska, Frazier cemented his place in Nebraska football history by producing his best performances in the Huskers’ greatest games. Frazier engineered the Husker offense for four seasons and compiled a 33-3 record as Nebraska’s starting quarterback.

A native of Palmetto, Fla., Frazier ranks second in school history in total offense with 5,476 yards and he was responsible for 79 touchdowns. Frazier capped his NU career by leading the Huskers to their second straight national championship in 1995, when he was a first-team All-American, was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy and captured the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

Frazier is married to the former Andrea Stephens, who is originally from Sioux Falls, S.D. The couple has a seven-month old son, Tommie III.
