Top 25 "Freaks" in College Football 2015
http://www.foxsports.com/college-footbal...aks-081215
Top 25 "Freaks" in college football for 2015....basically very physically gifted athletes.
Temple's Kyle Friend comes in at #16
16. Kyle Friend, Temple, C: One of several holdovers from last year’s Freaks list, the 6-2, 305-pound senior continues to wow folks inside the Owls program. This offseason, Friend -- a guy who has started 33 consecutive games -- benched 225 pounds 46 times and also ran the 40 in 4.95 seconds.

No. 14: Montese Overton, ECU, OLB: Ruffin McNeill has been a college coach for 30 years, working everywhere from Clemson to ECU to Fresno State to Texas Tech. But he said he's been around one only linebacker who was faster than the 6-3, 221-pound Overton, and that was when he coached at Appalachian State and had Dexter Coakley. But McNeill said Overton is close.
"He's a 4.3 guy when he wakes up in the morning, and he's a 4.3 guy in the fourth quarter," McNeill said of Overton, whom ECU's strength coach clocked at 4.31 in the 40. Overton's 3.97 shuttle time would've topped the fastest turned in by any linebacker at the NFL Combine in 2015.

Well deserved for Montese.
Easily the most athletic defensive player in the AAC.
