Georgia’s running back, Nate Frazier’s world shrank when he learned about the passing of his father. His social media tribute revealed the heavy emotional toll of losing the patriarch of his family, but instead of hiding his pain, the RB openly shared his grief and regrets. This prompted an immediate wave of support from the college football community.

The world is very familiar with Nate Frazier’s mother, Yomeisha Moore, who played the biggest role in raising him. She raised him mostly as a single parent, especially when he was young. Frazier’s mother was a hardworking woman who supported her son’s career, which turned out to be fruitful. Frazier calls her his “biggest hero” and says she “never gave up” no matter what.

However, not much is known about his father. There is very little public information about him, and even Frazier himself has not spoken much about that part of his life. But he did have a major impact on Frazier, as his passing left a lasting mark on his heart. He posted an Instagram carousel with pictures of himself with his father, holding hands, visiting game days to support him, and wearing his jersey. He even posted pictures of them taking vacations.

All those memories in Frazier’s post reflected how close he was to his father. On March 21st, 2026, this unfortunate incident took place. As Frazier is coping with this loss, he promised his father that he is going to take his last name to great heights.

“My Pops made his transition to be with our savior. No better place imaginable for you to be in, Pops. I promise I’ll carry our last name to the fullest and make it be talked about in rooms we couldn’t imagine,” Frazier said in his caption.

Even though they couldn’t spend much time, Frazier’s dad was always present for him. They had their own ups and downs with all the family situations where he wasn’t present in his childhood, or they couldn’t spend more time, but for Frazier, he was always important. Now that he is no longer with him, there’s one regret left, which will stay with him forever.

“I know we had our ups and downs, but deep down inside, Pops, I’m sick, man,” Frazier said. “How I’m going to be so big on not leaving your loved one’s side, phone calls, presence without telling them you love them, and I did that too, Pops. Forgive me. I always just wanted better for you, Pops. Forgive me for not picking up that phone when you called and texted. I wish I could go back and answer; every time I’ve got to live with that for the rest of my life.”

Returning to Athens as a highly touted 2027 draft prospect, this season was meant to be his victory lap. Now, his final year at Georgia carries a heavier and deeply personal motivation, which is to make it to the league for his father.

“I ain’t forgetting about all the Rara who I get my football skills from, and blah blah Ima get my 1v1, which you one day gone need the Lord himself to help you out. Damn, Pop, you couldn’t even hear them words with the ? Pick in the NFL draft the? Select Nate Frazier, I wish Pops I wish,” Frazier said on IG stories.

The pain sure cuts deep, but Frazier is making sure he sticks beside his family and siblings and also returns strong in the field for the 2026 season. All of it to make his father proud, and even fans are right by his side to support him.
