Bruce Feldman’s yearly Freaks List has become a rite of passage for college football enthusiasts, spotlighting the athletes whose physical gifts set them apart. This year, the Crimson Tide contributed four names that caught the eye of analysts and fans alike.
The Standout Performers
Among the standouts, offensive lineman Jackson Lloyd earned the highest spot for an Alabama lineman, landing at No. 7 in the 2025 class. The Carmel native not only projects as the team’s left tackle but also boasts a 505‑pound bench press and a 760‑pound squat, numbers that speak to a rare blend of size and strength.
Running back Daniel Hill, a third‑year player, cracked the list at No. 23 overall. His 3.8‑yard average per carry and 7.3‑yard reception average illustrate a dual‑threat skill set, while his 38‑inch vertical jump and 800‑pound squat underscore the power and agility that make him a nightmare for defenses.
Wide receiver Ryan Coleman‑Williams, who led the Tide in receiving last season, sits at No. 38 despite a sophomore slump. He has added 465 pounds to his squat and vaulted to a 44‑inch vertical, signaling a commitment to elevating his game before the next campaign.
Safety Bray Hubbard rounds out the group at No. 54, celebrated for his defensive instincts and a forced fumble in the Iron Bowl. A GPS‑tracked speed of 21.8 mph adds a blistering edge to his play, promising a disruptive presence in the secondary.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The quartet reflects a broader narrative of Alabama’s 2026 prospects, where three offensive standouts and a defensive anchor could reshape the team’s dynamics. With three players on offense and one on defense, the list hints at a balanced surge in talent that could propel the Crimson Tide back to the top of the SEC. Coach’s expectations are already rising, and the players themselves are embracing the challenge. As the offseason progresses, the physical milestones they’ve achieved will be closely watched, but it’s their ability to translate those numbers into on‑field impact that will ultimately define their 2026 stories.
