One of two two-year senior starters returning up front for the Mountaineers this season (along with high-school teammate Matt Ruff) ... has made 27-consecutive starts at right tackle ... can play all five offensive-line positions ... due to versatility, ASU’s coaching staff will likely see how the position battles work out between the Mountaineers’ young offensive linemen before deciding where to plug Frye into the starting lineup ... while he could wind up starting at any of the five spots up front, it is expected that he will either remain at right tackle or move to left tackle to protect All-America quarterback DeAndre Presley’s blind spot ... makes up for relative lack of size with quickness, finesse and smarts ... is a three-time academic all-conference selection and was honored last year as an FCS academic all-star.

2008: Served as the Mountaineers’ utility lineman, lining up anywhere from center to tight end over the course of 11 games ... when playing tight end, he wore No. 88, due to NCAA rules regarding jersey numbers for eligible receivers ... was mainly an extra blocker as a tight end and did not have any balls thrown his way ... was also a key contributor on special teams ... had tackles in each of the first two games of the year (at LSU, vs. Jacksonville) ... missed three games due to a knee injury ... was rewarded for excellence on and off the field with academic all-conference recognition.
