Nate Frazier: Ready to Roar from Game One

Nate Frazier, a running back for the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs, declared his intention to be at full intensity from the very start of the upcoming season. Frazier expressed a desire to avoid the pattern of waiting until late in the season to perform at his peak, as he did in 2025.

He aims to apply his newfound focus from the season's opening game, unlike his previous approach where he surged in performance only by the ninth game. Frazier wants this immediate impact to be the norm.

Coach Kirby Smart highlighted Frazier's leadership role in fostering positive energy within the running back room, which also includes Chauncey Bowens and Dwight Phillips, Jr. Smart noted that Frazier takes personal pride in setting a high standard for his teammates.

Frazier likened his commitment to the work ethic of NBA star Stephen Curry, who meticulously honed his skills. Frazier sees his dedication on the gridiron, focusing on stamina, pass protection, and receiving out of the backfield, as analogous to Curry's off-court training regimen.

He stressed that hard work surpasses talent when talent is not diligently applied, vowing not to waste his God-given abilities. Frazier's comprehensive development this training camp has been a significant focus for the team.
