Did you know that one of the world’s best pickleball players is also a Mizzou Tiger?

Dylan Frazier has played pickleball since he was 14 and is currently the #1 ranked player in men’s doubles. He turned pro shortly before arriving to Mizzou in 2020 and is now a senior majoring in business administration with a 4.0 GPA.

I enjoyed meeting with Dylan and hearing more about his many accomplishments on the court, including:

• Winning the 2024 U.S. Open Men’s Double Championship in Naples, Florida

• Achieving a top 10 ranking in singles

• Earning gold at the PPA Masters in Palm Springs, California in January and silver at the Las Vegas Pickleball Cup earlier this month

• Receiving 15+ medals (and counting) this year alone

We also discussed the concept of the game, its popularity and Dylan’s path to becoming a champion. I want to congratulate Dylan on his success and for being a great representative of Mizzou!
