Virginia State Trojans Announce Key Staff Changes For Football Team

Virginia State Trojans head coach Dr. Henry Frazier, III, reported several staff changes ahead of the 2025 season. VSU (7-4, 6-1 CIAA) was the conference runner-up to the VA Union Panthers in 2024. After winning the season finale 35-28 at home, the Trojans lost 17-13 in the 2024 CIAA Football Conference Championship game to VA Union.

Dr. Frazier felt it was necessary to make offensive changes by hiring Rahmann Lee as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Lee coached the West Viriginia State Yellow Jackets offense. His squad was in the top 25 in rushing yards per game (194.7) and points per game (33.2).

During his collegiate days at Glenville State, he recorded the second-most rushing yards in a game for a Division II player. His 412 rushing yards was set against West Virginia Wesleyan on Sept. 10, 2015.
