Kudos to Frazier’s mother, Yomeisha, for giving him such a strong upbringing and implanting high values. In 2023, Daws247 interviewed coach McManus, who appreciated Frazier’s upbringing. He said, “He wants to perform both on and off the field, especially in his studies. He works really hard. He’s dedicated working with his teachers. He’s really studious. I think one of the big things is, his mom is super active on campus, making sure she’s involved with his academics. On the field stuff, just looking at Nate and knowing Nate, that takes care of itself. I think a lot of that stems from his mom, and his family, and his upbringing.”
