Brandon Frye | Work Ethic & Life After Football

We sat down with former NFL lineman Brandon Frye to unpack the journey behind his career — from growing up in Myrtle Beach with a single mom, to earning a scholarship at Virginia Tech, to making the leap into the NFL with the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks.

Brandon shares the lessons that carried him through every level of the game: discipline, patience, and an unshakable work ethic. We talk about the turning point in high school that changed his future, what it was like switching positions from defensive end to offensive line, and how film study and preparation became his edge at the professional level.

Now thriving in the mortgage world, Brandon opens up about the challenges of life after football, finding a new identity, and how athletes can prepare for transition long before their playing days end.

This is a powerful conversation for young athletes, parents, and coaches who want to understand the intangibles it takes to succeed — on the field and far beyond it.
