Tommie Frazier

Who is Tommie Frazier?

Tommie James Frazier, Jr., is a former American college and professional football player who was an award-winning quarterback for the University of Nebraska. Frazier is widely considered to be one of the best players in the history of college football despite being hampered by injuries for his entire career.

Frazier led his team to consecutive national championships in 1994 and 1995, and is one of four quarterbacks to have done so since the 1950s: Oklahoma's Steve Davis, Nebraska's Jerry Tagge, Alabama's A.J. McCarron being the others. Frazier is the only one of the four whose consecutive national championships included zero losses or ties. He was named Most Valuable Player of three consecutive national championship games, the only player ever to accomplish that feat. The 1995 Nebraska football team is considered to have been one of the most dominant in the history of American college football and, in a 2006 ESPN.com poll, was voted the best college football team of all time.

Frazier was selected by Sports Illustrated in 1999 as a back-up quarterback in their "NCAA Football All-Century Team."
