Freak Athlete Alert – There's a 6-Foot-5, 230-Pound Defensive Lineman Who Runs a 10.55 100 Meter Dash From D-III Hope College and He's Turning Heads in The Transfer Portal

There he is. The most electric freak athlete hidden gem in the transfer portal. Liam Danitz (white guy) of the Hope College Flying Dutchmen in Holland, Michigan. It's a beautiful little town. I went there once to watch my little brother play in a baseball tournament. It's a little slice of Holland (the country) right on the coast of Lake Michigan. They've got windmills and everything.

And for the last four years, it's been home to a football player with some of the most intriguing metrics across all divisions of college football. 

He's 6-foot-5. 230-pounds (240 on some sites). He's a D-III All-American in both football and track. He's a defensive end who runs a 10.55 100-meter dash. And at the conclusion of his senior season, he retired from football. He was about to hang it up. His plan was to go to Michigan University to get his masters in athletic training. But apparently someone pulled him aside and said, "Hey Liam. You know you're a freak right? You know you Michigan might buy that master's degree for you based on measurables alone?"

Shoutout G-Fed for the video. Watch his stuff. He makes videos at stadiums. They're good. 

Since Liam Danitz entered the portal, the offers have been rolling in. And they keep getting better. He started out with a few from the likes of James Madison, Western Kentucky, and Louisiana Tech. But as of yesterday, he's now received offers from Toledo, Cal, West Virginia, Utah, UCLA. He's reportedly getting interest from Michigan and Indiana. 

And by the time you're reading this, there might be more. 

But there is one little problem. Liam Danitz is out of eligibility. He's waiting on the NCAA to decide if they'll grant him one more year to move up to FBS and play his second senior season. But the way schools are pursuing him, it sounds like they're confident he'll have it granted. I mean… he's only played 4 years after all. Most college football players are just getting started at that point (just kidding… but not really)

I also do have to question whether or not his hands are made of stone. His size and speed make him seem like he would be the perfect tight end. Maybe even a wide receiver. With that size and speed, he could be the next D.K. Metcalf. You could even throw him at outside linebacker. Bryant Haines at Indiana would have a field day with a defensive player that versatile. But with 15 sacks and 21 TFL in his All-American senior season, it's hard to argue Hope College wasn't using him correctly.

Regardless of where he fits best, whether you're playing on the offensive line, or the defensive secondary, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound track star sounds like a nightmare to deal with.
