Brian Frierson brings veteran DB instincts and special-teams toughness to NCCU
Brian Frierson’s North Carolina Central profile reads like a grinder’s résumé: in the 2008-11 seasons, he appeared in 39 games with 12 starts, posted 78 tackles, 3 interceptions and 4 pass break-ups, and even blocked a punt—classic impact-from-anywhere DB energy. What makes him worth watching is the combo of physicality, football IQ, and versatility that later carried into his coaching career. If your team wants a defensive back who plays with edge, understands leverage, and adds value in the kicking game, Frierson’s background says yes—he’s the kind of athlete-turned-coach who always seemed to find the ball.
