The 101 player list features names from across college football who demonstrate elite athleticism both on and off the field.

Greene is the 86th player to be mentioned, with The Athletic’s Senior Writer Bruce Feldman singing praises on his speed:

“The former star baseball catcher from Florida took over the starting quarterback job and sparked the Mountaineers to a nine-win season in 2023. Greene proved to be one of the best-kept secrets in college football as a dual-threat quarterback at a program that has had some spectacular ones during the past three decades.”

“He produced almost 3,200 yards of total offense with 16 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing TDs, rushing for 772 yards. The 5-11, 204-pounder ran a fast 10-yard split of 1.48 this offseason, which is three-hundredths of a second faster than any quarterback has run at the NFL combine. Greene had a 2.58 in the 20. His pro agility shuttle was excellent at 4.02. He had a 6.68 3-cone time (only three quarterbacks have ever done it faster at the combine).”

Only one player from the Big 12 Conference was featured in the Top 10 on the Freak List. At #2, Travis Hunter out of Colorado earned his placement with his impressive speed and flexibility to play wide receiver, corner back, and even special teams.
