Former Alabama defensive lineman Joshua Frazier has been making the news a lot in the last couple of months with his family along with his own comments surrounding Alabama.
On Dec. 8 Fraizer’s mother posted a blog criticizing head coach Nick Saban and the university over the way the program was run. She also accused assistant coaches of causing her son’s addiction to a certain medication.
Frazier was not happy with the comments from his mother.
Even tho my mom did what she did I still don’t agree with her posting my story. I still love her. I only have 1 mom.We talked it out to get to a understanding about the article. Just a small snippet of my story she posted. And I won’t speak on this further.

Fraizer was referring to Saban and Alabama’s handling of the transfer of former defensive back Maurice Smith. Smith’s initial transfer was denied by Alabama and was tried to be convinced to stay.
