Zach Frazier is a center for the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the collegiate level, Frazier played for the West Virginia Mountaineers football team. After the 2023 season came to an end, Frazier declared for the 2024 NFL Draft where the Steelers selected him as the 51st overall in the second round of the draft.
Frazier is a member of the First-Team All-Big 12 in 2023 and has also made it to the Second-Team All-Big 12 twice in 2021 and 2022 while playing for the Mountaineers at West Virginia University. As a true freshman, he started out as a center initially before shifting to the guard position but then became the starting center for the Mountaineers in 2021, his sophomore season.
The West Virginia native has good strength and he uses his power to drive opponents to the ground and provide good run lanes with exceptional blocking. Furthermore, he has excellent grip strength as well. However, the one thing that could be of concern in the NFL is his shorter arms. Additionally, he has shown a tendency to grab and hug on many occasions which is something he will need to iron out once he gets to the professional league.
