  • Title:
    Assistant Coach, Wide Receivers
Erik Frazier completed his first season as UCLA's wide receivers coach in 2024. He was hired in March 2024 as part of head coach DeShaun Foster's inaugural staff.ย 

Frazier oversaw a deep and balanced group at UCLA during the 2024 season. UCLA's five primary wideouts all caught at least one touchdown and finished between 180-350 receiving yards. Four Bruin pass-catchers eclipsed the 200-yard receiving mark, and a trio finished with 300-plus, including Logan Loya who paced the squad with 348 receiving yards and four touchdown grabs. True freshman Kwazi Gilmer (345 receiving yards, two touchdowns)ย also had a breakout campaign, highlighted by Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors after catching four passes for 88 yards and a TD at Nebraska on Nov. 2. J.Michael Sturdivant added a pair of explosive outings, going for 107 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota on Nov. 12, followed by a five-catch, 117-yard evening vs. USC on Nov. 23.ย 

Frazier was previouslyย an offensive skill assistant with the NFLโ€™s Tennessee Titans and arrived in Westwood with a combined nine years of coaching experience at the NFL and collegiate levels.

Prior to making the jump to the NFL, Frazier made collegiate coaching stops at Montana State (2019, 2020), Western Illinois (2018), Northwestern (2017), Dayton (2016) and Delaware Valley (2014, 2015).

The Philadelphia native also earned NFL coaching internships with the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, and Kansas City Chiefs. At the latter stop, he overlapped with Eric Bieniemy, who was named UCLAโ€™s associate head coach and offensive coordinator in February 2024.

Upon his arrival to Westwood, Frazierโ€™s teams had gone a combined 72-34, including a 53-19 mark at the NCAA level.

Frazierโ€™s two-year (2021, 2022) tenure in Tennessee was highlighted by a standout 2021 campaign, as the Titans went 12-5 en route to a first-place finish in the AFC South. Tennessee ranked fifth in the NFL with an average of 141.4 rushing yards per game and receiver A.J. Brown had a solid season with 63 catches for 869 yards and five touchdowns. In 2022, the Titans placed second in the AFC South and had two offensive starters named to the Pro Bowl. In addition, five different players recorded 30 or more receptions.

Montana State went 11-4 with Frazier on staff as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. In 2019, MSU was ranked as high as No. 4 in the country and reached the semifinals of the FCS playoff. Under Frazierโ€™s tutelage, wide receiver Kevin Kassis totaled 871 yards and six touchdowns en route to all-league honors. Wideout Travis Jonsen was voted onto the Big Sky All-Conference first team as an all-purpose player. The Bobcatsโ€™ 2020 season was canceled in its entirety due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior to his time with Montana State, Frazier had one-year stints at Western Illinois as wide receivers coach, Northwestern as a graduate assistant coach and Dayton as wide receivers coach. His 2018 WIU team featured three 600-yard receivers, led by Isaiah LeSure, who garnered All-Missouri Valley Conference acclaim. Frazier also helped Northwestern in 2017 to a 10-3 record, a second-place finish in the Big Ten West and a win in the Music City Bowl.

Frazier got his coaching start with Delaware Valley, serving as wide receivers coach in 2014 before adding quarterbacks to his responsibilities a season later. He tutored Rasheed Bailey, who led all of Division III with 1,707 receiving yards in 2014 en route to first-team All-America recognition and the Maxwell Football Club Brian Westbrook Tri-State Player of the Year Award. Bailey spent time with the NFLโ€™s Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers, Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers and helped the CFLโ€™s Winnipeg Bluebombers to Grey Cup championships in 2019 and 2021. Frazierโ€™s DVU teams went a combined 18-4.

As a player, Frazier was a two-year standout as a wide receiver at Division II Kutztown. Over 25 career games with Kutztown, he totaled 1,821 yards on 159 catches with 15 touchdowns. He was named to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) All-Conference first team, Daktronics All-Region second team and Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region One third team after helping the Golden Bears to a then-school record 11 wins as a senior captain in 2011. Frazier was tabbed a PSAC All-Conference second-team honoree in 2010.

Frazier earned his bachelorโ€™s in sports management from Kutztown in 2011 and added a masterโ€™s in policy studies from Delaware Valley in 2016. He and his wife, Christina, were married in 2021. They became parents to daughter Georgia in April 2024.
