Nicholls' Versatile Forward and 2017 All-Conference Honoree
Ja'Dante' Frye, a 6'4" forward from Thibodaux, LA, delivered consistent double-figure scoring for the Nicholls Colonels, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists at 47.6% FG in the 2016-17 season while earning Honorable Mention All-Southland Conference honors. His differentiators shine in high-impact games—like 19.5 PPG over key stretches and 21+ point outbursts—showcasing scoring versatility inside and out, rebounding grit, and clutch intensity that powered Nicholls' upsets. A reliable, battle-tested mid-major star with no noted injury history, Frye fits teams needing tough, efficient forwards who elevate in big moments.
