Strengths

Ideal overall size. Plays with outstanding leverage and core strength. Very strong in general. Massive hands. Consistently wrestles defensive tackles to the ground. Great instincts and reaction time. Excellent acceleration. Exceptional movement skills on zone blocks. Tremendous ability to stay attached on outside zone blocks. Can throw defenders to the ground with one arm. Quick to bury opponents that he takes down. Will use the defender’s leverage to his advantage by pushing out of the rushing lane. Holds up very well versus bigger opponents. Good footwork on pulls. Generates easy drive when he latches onto linebackers. Very impactful catching a piece of defenders on chip blocks. Seems even better blocking around the goal line. Gets very low and creates room on quarterback sneaks. Calls out pre-play adjustments. Excellent awareness and vision in pass protection. Very balanced as a pass blocker. Does a tremendous job moving his feet. Terrific strength to hold up versus power rushers. Impressive ability to turn and recover in pass protection. Used on outside pulls as a pass blocker and was effective handling edge defenders. Four-time state champion wrestler in high school.

 

Weaknesses

Could be better moving/turning his feet to position himself as a run blocker. Needs to be wary of jersey tugs on the torso. Doesn’t always stay connected as well at the second level. Can be more controlled and accurate in space. Struggled with the speed of Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter on a fourth-down pass rush (2023).

Conclusion

Overall, Frazier is a very strong center that plays with tremendous leverage as a run blocker and holds up very well in pass protection. His best fit would be in a zone-blocking scheme, and Frazier should at least be a solid starter at the next level.
