Connor Frazier, a Hugo High School senior, was recently selected to participate in the Native American Athletic Foundation All-Star Event as one of Indian Country’s top 60 high school football players who demonstrate leadership qualities and academic success.
Along with the exhibition game held on Jan. 7, players attended a 4-day camp. The camp consisted of working with mentor coaches, hearing from leaders across Indian Country, and attending classes on college preparation, scholarship application, leadership, culture, and community involvement.
The Native American Athletic Foundation partnered with the National Football League (NFL) and Nike to host the game at the Dallas Cowboys’ practice facility, The Star, in Frisco, Texas.
With over 30 tribes represented from all across the United States, it was an honor when Connor’s teammates selected him as one of two team captains for Team Wa-Ya (Wolf) for the All-Star game.
Connor is a proud Choctaw Nation tribal member from District 8 and is the son of Darren and Michele Frazier.
