Coach Frederick played at “Heartbreak Ridge” under Coach John Chaump from 1987 through 1989. He was a two-way performer at both defensive end/linebacker and also as a tight end. A tough competitor, he was named as both the Courier Times' and the SOL Coaches’ "Player of The Year" following his senior year of 1989. He was credited with 50 first hits and 67 assists that season on defense while he led the ‘Skins as a receiver, hauling in 19 aerials for 264 yards. Named to every local and regional all-star team, he was also a 2nd team all-state selection as a linebacker. Voted Mr. Redskin by his teammates in ’89, he also played in the 1990 Big 33 as he helped Pennsylvania top Maryland, 42-28.

As a senior in Langhorne, his '89 Redskins finished 7-4 while during his junior season the '88 squad posted an 11-0-0 regular season record. The team was selected to play in the first PIAA state playoff (an honor despite the Blue & Red’s loss to Cedar Cliff in the Eastern Championship). Following graduation from Neshaminy, Frederick then played at the University of Virginia from 1991 to 1994 under George Welsh. He continued to excel as a defensive end and is generally regarded as one of the Cav’s top ten defensive players of all time. He captained the 1994 team and was twice named as the team's defensive MVP. In 1994 he won the Bill Dudley Award as the top college player in the state of Virginia while he was also the defensive MVP in the 1994 Independence Bowl and was named as a Senior Bowl selection.

After college he was drafted in the third round by Cleveland where he played his rookie season as a back-up defensive end and on the bomb squads. The Browns then moved to Baltimore where he played for three years before heading to the Titans for his final season of 1999. He was on the squad for the January 2000 Super Bowl game against St. Louis. He played in a total of 70 games while in the NFL

Good luck Coach Frederick and, of course, go ‘Skins!
