Hall of Fame
Jeff Frost came to the Bulldogs in 1986 from St. Peters, Mo., and Fort Zumwalt High School. Though he saw limited action as a redshirt freshman in 1987, Frost would go on to become Truman's career passing leader with 6,529 yards, still the fourth-best total ever in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. In 1988, he began laying the foundation for a brilliant career by leading the Bulldogs to their most recent MIAA championship, and would take the team to the NCAA Division II playoffs his senior year in 1990. Frost earned second-team all-MIAA honors in '88 and, despite a lack-luster season by the team in 1989, he was named honorable mention all-MIAA that year. With expectations low for his senior season, Frost proved the critics wrong by leading the team to a 9-2 record and that spot in the Division II playoffs. He also led the team to a 43-42 come-from-behind win over Central State of Ohio, the No. 2-ranked team in the nation for most of the year. Frost earned first-team all-conference recognition that season and was selected as the league's offensive MVP. He threw for 2,122 yards in 1988, 1,990 yards in '89 and 2,295 yards his final season. Frost set Bulldog career records for passing yardage (6,529), total offense with 6,504 yards, currently the sixth-best mark in league history, touchdowns passing with 50, passes completed with 484, passes attempted with 1,022, and offensive plays with 1,163, marks which all still stand today. As proof of his strong arm, he also still owns the team's bench press record for quarterbacks at 400 pounds. Recently, Frost was one of just five quarterbacks from the last century to be named to Truman's All-Century football team. Frost earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice at Truman in 1990 and then attended Central Missouri State University where he completed a master's degree in criminal justice administration in 1991. Frost came back to Truman and taught criminal justice for a year before being hired by the United States Secret Service. He is currently working on his Ph.D. in criminal justice/criminology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Frost and his wife, Jane, live in Chicago. He was recently assigned to the Forensic Services Division of the USSS and to the protection detail for presidential candidate, George. W. Bush.
