The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman releases a list of the top “Freaks” in college football ahead of every season, and he dropped his 2025 edition on Monday. This list isn’t necessarily about the best players in college football, but more about the freakish athletes that will play in the game this season. Those two things are often correlated, though. The Michigan football team has two players on the list.
This year’s Michigan football team has a lot of talent, and while both players that made Feldman’s Freaks list have bright futures, they aren’t really viewed as two of the best players on the team. Let’s take a look at the two Wolverines who are featured:

“The TE from Germany made the Freaks List last year (No. 90),” Bruce Feldman wrote. “In 2024, he started six games and caught 13 passes for 108 yards and was named Most Improved Player on offense. The 6-6, 250-pound junior, who has hit 21.75 mph, broad jumped 9-7. This offseason, Klein ran a 6.89 in the three-cone drill. His former teammate Colston Loveland did it at 6.94 last offseason, and no tight end at this year’s combine did it quicker than that. Klein’s shuttle time of 4.25 this offseason would’ve been the fastest by any tight end at the combine.”
With Loveland off in the NFL now, it’s Klein’s time to shine. We all know how much Michigan likes to utilize their TEs, so Klein should get plenty of opportunities to make a name for himself this season.
Manuel Beigel, DL
Defensive lineman Manuel Beigel comes in at No. 62 on the list. Not many people in the college football world know of this name, but that could change soon. The…
