Justin Frye, who worked with head football coach Steve Addazio as a player at Indiana and as a coach at Florida, enters his second season as the offensive line coach at Temple University.
In 2011, the Owl offense set the school records for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season as well behind the explosive efforts of All-MAC honorees Pierce and Matt Brown. Blocking the way were All-MAC offensive linemen Pat Boyle and Wayne Tribue. The starting offensive line combined for 147 starting appearances. Providing great protection, the o-line gave up no sacks against four opponents.
Serving as the offensive line graduate assistant, Frye worked with Addazio for two seasons at the University of Florida.
In 2010, the Gator offensive unit paved the way for four players to rush for over 300 yards, one of only six BCS teams to accomplish the feat. The offensive line, which allowed only 24 sacks, had a Sporting News Freshman All-American in guard Jon Halapio and an Associated Press second-team All-SEC performer in center Mike Pouncey. Following a win in the Outback Bowl, tackle Marcus Gilbert and Pouncey were selected to play in the 2011 Senior Bowl.
The 2009 offensive line led the Southeastern Conference in rushing and total offense while finishing second in scoring offense. Frye helped tutor Maurkice Pouncey in 2009 when Pouncey won the Rimington Award, given annually to college football’s most outstanding center.
Frye was also a graduate assistant at Indiana for two seasons before joining the Florida staff, working with the offensive line and tight ends.
Playing for offensive coordinator Addazio, Frye set the Indiana record for most consecutive starts (45), playing as an offensive lineman for the Hoosiers from 2002-06. As a senior, he was a team captain and voted the team’s “Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman.” The Elwood, Ind., native earned a bachelor’s degree in sports communications from Indiana University in December 2006.
Prior to Frye’s career at Indiana, he played for Elwood High School where he was a first-team All-State performer. He also played basketball and golf and ran track. Frye earned Academic All-State honors and was the Marine Corps Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Frye’s father, the late Kevin Frye, was a fullback and tight end for the Hoosiers from 1977-81 and played in the 1979 Holiday Bowl.
Frye is married to the former Lauren Torpey. The couple has a son Kevin and a daughter Zoe.
