Tommie James Frazier, Jr., (born July 16, 1974), 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 greatest 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 five quarterbacks to have done so since the 1950s: Oklahoma's Steve Davis, Nebraska's Jerry Tagge, USC's Matt Leinart, Alabama's A.J. McCarron being the others.〔 〕 Frazier is the only one of the five 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〔(ESPN.com - Page2 - Best college football teams of all time )〕〔(ESPN.com - Page2 - Readers: Best college football team )〕 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." He was one of six Nebraska Cornhuskers on this 85 man roster, along with Johnny Rodgers, Rich Glover, Dave Rimington, Dean Steinkuhler and Aaron Taylor. CollegeFootballNews.com named Frazier in 2004 as the #33 player on their Top 100 Greatest College Football Players of All-Time list. In 2013, Frazier was elected to the college football hall of fame. Frazier was not drafted by the NFL due to a blood clot in his left leg, a side effect of Crohn's disease.〔(Mom Talked Frazier Out of Leaving Lincoln Early - Huskers.com )〕 ==Personal== Frazier grew up in Palmetto, Florida and attended Manatee High School.
