Georgia Bulldogs, who ran back Nate Frazier, couldn’t help but laugh when he was reminiscent of his first time getting a resident at college last season.
The true beginner of Compton, California, did not expect him to hear his name called No. 14 Clemson, but nonetheless, the head coach Kirby would smart him on the field.
“There have been people at the University of Georgia for three years and have not even touched the field yet,” he told Pakinomist Digital over the phone while discussing his partnership with Powerades “It Take More” campaign. “So it’s like I didn’t really expect me to touch the field.

“My heart knocked out of my chest and I couldn’t even feel my body. I was so nervous.”
Frazier said first handoff led him to stumbled “because I couldn’t feel my feet.” But Frazier knew he had to face all the noise, expectation and nerves that come with playing sec football.
Why? His mother didn’t want it in any other way.

Frazier described his mother, Yomeisha Moore, as her “greatest hero.”
She traveled him as a single mother throughout the first years of his life, depending on her own mother and sisters to help raise her only son. And her son never forgets what she has done to help him reach this point for now – to be on top of the Bulldogs’ depth card by driving back in the 2025 season.
“Her determination and work ethics made me feel like I had no choice – I can’t give up,” Frazier explained when asked about his mother’s influence. “Whatever comes my way, there is no backing because I literally saw her do it. Whatever came her way, she never supported. She never held up she never gave up. She always found her way out.
“My mother never said in her life me, ‘Son I can’t do this.’ My mom has always made a way for me no matter what it was.
This drive from Moore Stack with Frazier, who picked up after the first berry against Clemson and rushed in 83 yards with a touchdown of 11 carrier in 34-3-blowout to open the 2024 season.
Frazier continued to hurry 671 yards on 133 attempts with eight rushing touchdowns in his debut season for Bulldogs and cemented himself as a piece for the future on Smart’s Squad.

The effort is higher for Frazier this year, although he is not eligible to enter the NFL draft yet. It will have to wait until next year, but he doesn’t even think of his own future. His team-focused and said he just wants to do what’s best for the bulldogs in 2025, hopefully it does longer than just winning the SEC championship as they did last season.
But Frazier plays too much more than just bulldogs and their loyal fans in Athens every week. Over 2,000 miles away, his mother sees in excitement in the hope that her son will continue to give up despite the situation. And it is also young people who want to be Frazier one day.
“I play for all the kids at home, no matter where they are at,” began Frazier when he was asked who he plays for every game day. “Not even my hometown, but for kids who don’t think they can do it, and just think it’s impossible and unheard of. I play for all the children who have grown up in the type of situations I grew up in, where the majority of things are the street life and things like that. I play for all the children who need to know that there are other options.
“I play for my family. Each time there are tough times or hard points [of the season]I just think of my family and all the struggles we went through and the like. They never gave up on me and were always in my corner, always in my circle. They were positive to me no matter what it was. “

Frazier knows that it takes more
Frazier’s emergence as an important gear for Bulldogs’ football program means opening new Nil options that came when Powerade updated the “It Take More” campaign that enters its third year ahead of the college football season.
“I never really thought I would be able to have opportunities like this to be in this position,” he told Fox Business. “Powerade is a drink used by athletes all over the world, not even the country. Being able to be in this position is amazing and it doesn’t feel right. I’m just really blessed to be able to work with Powerade.”
As a real beginner last season playing in SEC, the toughest conference in college -football, Frazier really understood the meaning of “it takes more.”
“It takes extra hours of movie. It takes extra hours to be with your coach. It takes extra hours of field work. It takes more to study Playbook. It takes more to study the team you want to play against. … all the things you think you need to work on, dive more into it,” he said.
