Chris “Bubba” Frazier ’26 ATH BenedictinernThe rising Benedictine Junior ATH looks like he has added height and weight since he last updated his profile at PRZ. Solid, compact build and looks like a football player when he steps off the bus.
He recorded a 10.86 in the 1st meet of the Spring and we expect him to eclipse that number as the temps heat up later this Spring.
Impressive Sophomore film scoring 8 total TDs last season on a combination of rushing and receiving and added a pick 6 on defense. Has that “Twitch” and is able to create separation with the double move. Once he gets by the defense you are not going to catch him. Good concentration and hands. Solid, physical tackler on defense.
Plays at one of the top programs in the State that has a reputation for developing football talent. Frazier is definitely one to keep on your radar this Fall in the SE Georgia Area.

’25 6’2 180 WR/DB South Gwinnettrn11.10 100m 2/21/24
I was impressed when I turned on Cook’s film from last season. He caught the ball all over the place last year for South Gwinnett. Hit him with the screen and he has the athleticism to make defenders miss and get up field. He is not afraid to catch the ball over the middle in traffic. Of course with his speed and height he is a good vertical target that can get behind the defense quick and is good at going up over smaller DBs to haul the ball in.
Cook maybe new to my radar but he is already on College radars across the South. He recently added Troy and Austin Peay to a list of 11 other offers he has already received heading into his Senior year. After watching his film I understand why.
The 11.10 was a personal record for Cook in the 1st Meet of ’24. He will eclipse the 11 mark as the Spring temps heat up.
’27 RB Brunswickrn11.14 100m 2/21/24
I watch so much film that I rarely get excited about a clip that I have to watch it twice, but I did just that with Gardner’s highlight.
The rising Sophomore appears to have mostly gained experience at the JV level in 2023 at Brunswick but showed his potential down the road. Very shifty, looks like a pinball out there as he weaves his way through the defense. Not the biggest guy right now at 150 pounds but is hard to tackle on first contact. Once he gets by you he turns the jets on in the open field and there is no catching him.
Outstanding future RB prospect that we will have our eyes on over the next few years. As he physically matures and gets more time in the weight room, Gardner could turn into one of the top backs in the Coastal Georgia Area.

’26 ATH Lamar Corn11.22 100m 2/21/24
Compact, physical kid who plays a lot bigger than 5’7 150. Plays downhill on defense and loves to hit. Good football instincts that always seems to be in the right spot to make a play.
Patient runner on offense that can dance around the defense until he can fire through an opening. Gets up to full speed fast and is hard to catch once he gets behind the defense.
Was selected as a GACA Sophomore All Star and was named 1st Team All Region. Coachable young man that will be have an outstanding high school career. Old school football player that loves the game and will be one to keep on your radar over the next 2 seasons.
