On the 12th of October, 1974 Fryer made a record-setting single-game Canadian Interuniversity Sport (now U Sports) record of 227 yards of receiving against Calgary’s University of Calgary. He also established an all-season CIS record of the most receptions with 58, and also recorded the first 1,000-yard receiving season in CIS history, with a record of 1068 yards. He also scored 16 touchdowns, which included an CIS record of 14 receiving touchdowns. The score of sixteen touchdowns in the season was third-highest number in the course of a single season, following Paul Brule’s touchdowns of 25 at St. Francis Xavier University in 1967 and Brule’s twenty score in 1966 at St. FX in 1966. He completed 1974 with the only Canadian all-star, and was selected for Canada West’s nomination in the competition for the Creighton Trophy.

Fryer’s accomplishments at the University of Alberta caught the attention of Bob Windish, the director of player personnel for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. After watching Fryer at a practice in September 1975 he passed a report on to Alouettes head coach Marv Levy. Levy, who was once an assistant with the Washington Redskins of the NFL, told Redskins head coach George Allen that Fryer was a player with NFL potential. Redskins director of player personnel Tim Temerario and director of college scouting Mark Allman paid visits to Alberta that winter to assess Fryer’s abilities. As a result, the Redskins selected Fryer with the 234th pick in the 8th round of the NFL draft on April 8, 1976.

Fryer was one of 34 rookies at the Redskins training camp that summer, but the only one who made the team. He caught seven passes for 110 yards and scored one touchdown in pre-season exhibition play and was slotted into the lineup as a special teams player. Fryer returned nine kickoffs for 166 yards in four NFL regular season games before strained ligaments in his knee ended his season. They would be the only four NFL regular season games Fryer would play. He spent the 1977 season rehabbing on the practice roster, before parting ways with the team in 1978.
