Along with that, Frentheway was also a participant in the junior division of the 2020 Winter Cup Challenge, as well as the Men’s Junior Olympic National Championships in 2019.

Frentheway is now the fifth signee in the Sooners' 2021 class since November, joining Fuzzy Benas, Emre Dodanli, Raydel Gamboa and Nikolai Kolesnikov.
