Henry Frazier III (born March 20, 1968) is an American football coach and former player. He is the head football coach for Virginia State University, a position he has held since 2022. Frazier served as the head football coach at Bowie State University from 1999 to 2003, Prairie View A&M University from 2004 to 2010, and North Carolina Central University from 2011 to 2012.

Coaching career[edit]

Bowie State[edit]

Fraizer's first collegiate head coaching position was the head coach at Bowie State University for five seasons, from 1999 to 2003. At Bowie State, his teams produced a record of 26–24.[1]

Prairie View A&M[edit]

In 2004 Frazier was named the 23rd head football coach at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas. His record at Prairie View was 43–30. Upon his resignation at Prairie View A&M, Frazier was the second winningest coach in Prairie View A&M football history.[2]

North Carolina Central[edit]

On December 16, 2010, Frazier was introduced as the 21st head coach of the North Carolina Central University Eagles. Frazier succeeded Mose Rison and inherited an Eagles team that posted a 3–8 record during the 2010 campaign. His contract was for five years, with a base salary of $225,000. On August 22, 2013, following a domestic dispute, NCCU's administration announced that Frazier was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Eagles.[3]

Virginia State[edit]

In May 2022, it was announced that Frazier would be returning to the sidelines as a head coach once again. He was hired as the head coach of the Virginia State Trojans.[4]
