Jabril Frazier, a 28‑year‑old run‑game coordinator and edge coach at Boise State, has quickly become one of the program’s most promising assistants. Named to the 247Sports 30Under30 list, he already boasts a track record of developing standout talent, having helped Ahmed Hassanein and Jayden Virgin‑Morgan earn all‑conference first‑team honors.
A Week in the Rams’ Coaching Room
During a recent Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship, Frazier spent a week embedded with the Los Angeles Rams. The experience exposed him to the league’s open‑communication culture and high‑intensity training methods that define modern NFL staff work.
Under the guidance of head coach Sean McVay and outside linebackers coach Joe Coniglio, Frazier observed detailed defensive line meetings and absorbed strategies for building player‑coach partnerships. He noted how the Rams blend rigorous preparation with candid dialogue, a contrast to many college environments.
Mentorship played a pivotal role in his development. Former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen offered counsel throughout the fellowship, reinforcing the value of thoughtful leadership and continuous learning.
Bringing NFL Tactics to College Football
Frazier plans to translate those professional insights into a more detail‑oriented, high‑intensity scheme for Boise State’s edge rushing group. He believes the approach will sharpen the unit’s performance and help the team meet its 2026 goals.
With Jayden Virgin‑Morgan returning as a premier defender in the Pac‑12, the coaching staff sees an opportunity to raise the standard of play and attract even more talent. Frazier’s week with the Rams, coupled with guidance from Chris Petersen, equips him to lead that transformation.
