On April 26, 2025, the Detroit Lions executed a strategic move that would reshape their locker room in ways beyond the box score. The team traded two draft picks to move up in the fifth round and select LSU offensive guard Miles Frazier. Within hours, they had brought three members of the same fraternity brotherhood onto their roster—a rarity in professional sports that represents far more than coincidence.
This convergence brought together players whose bond predates the NFL, united by shared values of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. Founded November 17, 1911, at Howard University, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has shaped leaders across business, politics, and athletics for over a century. Inside the Lions’ locker room, that legacy now plays out under head coach Dan Campbell’s vision of grit and accountability.

More Than Letters
What the Lions assembled on April 26, 2025, extends beyond draft strategy. The franchise brought together three men shaped by an institution founded 114 years ago—an institution built on brotherhood, character development, and the belief that true strength comes from lifting others.
Wingo, Frazier, and Lovett represent a rare convergence in professional sports. Two of them are line brothers—members of the same initiation class who crossed into manhood together and now share an NFL locker room. Their third completes a triangle that began in childhood and circles back to shared values.
In Detroit’s pursuit of excellence, these three men carry with them the ideals of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift—not as symbols or badges, but as lived practice. They will be tested under the Friday night lights of an NFL season. They will face adversity, setbacks, and moments when only character holds them steady.
When those moments come, they will lean on the same brotherhood that has sustained them since before they ever wore an NFL uniform. That is the real story behind three Omega Men in one locker room.
