Why Ted Hurst Is A “Freak”
April 24th, 2026
Each year, noted college football writer and FOX analyst Bruce Feldman puts out a “Freaks List.”
No, they don’t include anyone Joe bedded.
Feldman’s “Freak List” has exploded in recent years to forge a life of its own. NFL people devour it. College SIDs fight to get a player on the list. It’s supposed to highlight the top-100 freak athletes in college football.
Below is an excerpt from Feldman’s last “Freaks List” published over the summer. It details why Feldman listed Hurst just prior to the kickoff of the 2025 season.
No. 83 Ted Hurst, Georgia State, wide receiver
The 6-3, 198-pound Hurst, who spent two seasons at Valdosta State, had a big debut season in the Sun Belt, making 56 receptions for 961 yards and a Georgia State single-season record nine touchdowns. He had two TDs, including the game-winner with 15 seconds left, in Georgia State’s upset against Vanderbilt. Hurst clocked a laser-timed 4.51 40 this offseason and also broad jumped 10-8. His three-cone time was 6.93.
When it comes to being an athlete, you cannot teach being a great athlete and you can’t teach speed. A guy has it or he does not.
Throw in his 6-4 height, this is a very interesting pick by Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht.
