Early life
Frey was born on April 6, 1990 in Roseville, California. Frey's father, Demetryst Cornish, is a Walter Payton fan, and therefore named Frey's dogs "Bear" and "Payton." Frey and linebacker Lance Briggs were also from the same area.

"The only person I have an idea about is Lance Briggs just because we’re from the same area. He was a stud back in Sacramento and everybody knows about him. I’ve never met him; I’ve just heard stories about him."
— Frey about Lance Briggs[2]
College career
Frey played in college as a cornerback for the Nevada Wolf Pack.[1] During his time at Nevada, he recorded 141 tackles, seven interceptions, seven tackles-for-loss, one sack and two forced fumbles in 51 games. During his year as a senior, Frey was named first-team all-WAC after tying for first in the FBS with 21 pass breakups and recording a career-high five interceptions.

"Frey gives the Bears an athletic corner with athleticism and quickness. He is ideally suited to play in a two-deep scheme and will have a chance to make the roster as a sub defender."
— NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks[6]
On May 9, 2012 the Bears signed Frey to a four-year deal.[7][8]
In the third game of the preseason against the New York Giants, Frey intercepted a David Carr pass in the end zone with 1:06 in the game to give the Bears a 20-17 victory.[9] However, he was waived on August 31.[10] He later was placed on the Bears' practice squad.[11]
The Bears waived Frey on August 26, 2014.[12] On September 1, 2014, he was re-signed to the practice squad.[13][14]
