Georgia Bulldogs fans and former players are loving what they saw out of true freshman running back Nate Frazier. Frazier took 11 carries for 83 yards and scored a touchdown in his debut against the Clemson Tigers.
He earned strong praise from former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban on ESPN’s “College GameDay.”
“I don’t know how much faith Kirby’s (Smart) got in him, but I thought he was the No. 1 running back in the country last year,” said Saban.
Frazier was a four-star recruit in the class of 2024 and was ranked as the second-best running back in the country. His explosiveness was immediately a difference-maker for the Bulldogs. Frazier had significantly more success running than Branson Robinson, who started for Georgia.
The Bulldogs suspended running back Trevor Etienne for the season opener and will be without Roderick Robinson for several more weeks. Robinson was not putting any weight on his injured foot at the Clemson game after undergoing turf toe surgery.
“Nate really like that,” said former Georgia running back Kendall Milton via social media.
“Let’s go,” said former Georgia legend Todd Gurley, who also had a massive game against Clemson.
