A native of Philadelphia and 1971 graduate of the University of South Carolina, Sandy Frazier was introduced to rugby during his service at Philadelphia’s First Troop City Calvary around 1965 at the age of 22. In 1967, he moved to Columbia and joined the Fort Jackson Rugby Club as their captain.
Very quickly, Fort Jackson’s roster became diminished due to the Vietnam War. So, Frazier turned his attention to a new pool of prospective players: The University of South Carolina. He met with administrators, attracted 20 new players (mostly from his fraternity), and the USC men’s rugby football club was born with Frazier serving as player, coach, and captain.
After graduating in 1971, Frazier married, and moved to Memphis, where he began a lifelong career as a successful homebuilder and often returned to USC for rugby alumni events. In April, he was inducted into the USC rugby club’s inaugural Hall of Fame class. After his death on June 17, 2024, the rugby club and Frazier family established The Frazier Coaching Fund to support our head coach’s salary and stipends for assistant coaches.
