3 Georgia’s rich legacy of running backs. ATHENS, Ga. — Even though junior Nate Frazier has two years of eligibility remaining, he already feels time passing too quickly as he seeks to claim his place on No.
He says he is determined to make sure he continues the momentum gained from a strong finish to his 2025 season to capitalize on every opportunity this season. Frazier just missed 1,000 rushing yards last season, leading the team with 947 yards and six touchdowns. He showed his star potential when he rushed for 181 yards on only 12 carries in a 41-21 win at Mississippi State. It was the most yards for a Georgia running back since D’Andre Swift ran for 186 yards in a 2018 win at Auburn.
“Oh man, it’s just a blessing, man,” Frazier said. Frazier said he cherishes such Georgia traditions as the Dawg Walk with fans before the game. “Pass and pass receiving becoming a weapon,” Smart said when asked how Frazier has improved.
Frazier returns as the leader of Georgia’s ground game as the Bulldogs prepare for Saturday’s season opener against Tennessee State. “Weapon catching the ball out of the backfield has been a big focus for him. All in all, he’s worked really hard in his game.”
“We come and we put work in at this place, you know, Monday through Sunday, and then coming to the game on Saturday, it’s all worth it.
