Frazier is a former football player at the University of Alabama. He has 22 years of experience as a director of athletics at the NCAA Division I, II and III levels.
“The fit, for me, was perfect,” Frazier said in a statement. “When I look at Northern Illinois University and Huskie Athletics, I see a community that reflects who I am as an administrator. Entering the process, I saw a lot of similarities between what is needed to take that next step at NIU, and what I have been able to bring to some of the jobs I’ve held previously.”
Frazier replaces Jeff Compher, who has taken a similar position at East Carolina.
“Bringing Sean to NIU is the result of a lot of hard work by a group of dedicated people from across the university,” NIU president Douglass Baker said.
