A two-time All-MAC selection and the fifth all-time leading scorer for Miami men's basketball, Frierson propelled the RedHawks to MAC regular-season titles in 1997 and 1999 and a MAC Tournament crown in 1997. Leading Miami to three postseason appearances during his career from 1996-99, he was a key component on one of the greatest NCAA Tournament runs in program history as the 1999 RedHawks reached the Sweet 16.

He owns the single-season record for minutes played (1,201) and ranks among MU statistical leaders in seven single-season categories (games started, minutes played, points, field goal attempts, free throws, free-throw attempts and free-throw percentage) and 11 career lists (games started, minutes played, points, field goals, field goal attempts, assists, steals, 3-point field goal attempts, free throws, free-throw attempts and free-throw percentage). Frierson is part of Miami's top scoring duo with Wally Szczerbiak, finishing his career with 1,644 points.
