Boise State defensive assistant listed among top young coaches in college football

Boise State edge rusher coach Jabril Frazier was named to 247Sports’ 30Under30 coaching list, the organization announced on Monday.

247Sports compiles a list of the top 30 Division I coaches under the age of 30 before each season.

The 28-year-old Frazier helped put together a Boise State pass rush unit that led the country in sacks last season with 55. Ahmed Hassanein (9.5 sacks) was drafted in the sixth round by the Detroit Lions while Jayden Virgin-Morgan (10 sacks) is back with the Broncos for his junior season.

A former Boise State edge rusher, Frazier was a two-time first-team all-Mountain West selection as a player who helped lead the Broncos to conference titles in 2014 and 2017. He became Boise State’s edge coach in 2023.

Frazier was the only MWC coach to make the list. Future Pac-12 coaches Will Heck (tight ends, Oregon State) and Randy Martinez (wide receivers, Texas State) were also included.

Utah State running backs coach Kirk Garner and Fresno State wide receivers coach Delvon Hardaway both received honorable mention as rising coaches who recently turned 30.

Frazier was among 12 Group of Five representatives on the list.
