15 for '15: College football's smartest players
CFB 24/7's "15 for '15" series continues with a look at some of the smartest players in the college game. No, we didn't compare LSATs and MCATs to come up with this group, but we did add the requirement of significant on-field contributions. With a sampling of schools both big and small, and schools of varying academic reputations, here are 15 players who more than get the job done in the classroom.
