Alabama Has Three of the Biggest 'Freaks' in College Football

The Athletic'sBruce Feldman unveiled his 2025 college football "freaks" list on Monday.

Feldman has been doing this series since 2005, which analyzes the fastest, strongest, and most physical players in the sport.

Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith leads off the list, but is closely followed by Alabama Crimson Tide offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor. Proctor is one of three offensive line freaks on the list, and according to Feldman, squatted 815 pounds during the summer. Proctor also benched 535.

Proctor was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team after having a spectacular 2024 season on the Tide's offensive line.

Alabama center Parker Brailsford comes in at No. 20 on Feldman's "freaks" list and was one of the best centers in the country last season. He was a first-team All-American and had a vertical jump of 33 while also squatting 675.

Jaeden Roberts is the final Crimson Tide offensive lineman on the list and comes in at No. 27. He will be a starter again this season and recently squatted 805 pounds.

All three players will be a handful for other teams to deal with during the 2025 season. They will be out there looking to pancake defensive linemen in both the run and pass game.

Fans will get to see these three players and the rest of the Crimson Tide in action when they open the 2025 season against the Florida State Seminoles on August 30.

Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
