You’ll never guess who used to play linebacker at Kent State

You might not know much about this year’s Kent State Golden Flashes, who will play Clemson on Saturday.

But here are five big names who once played football at the Ohio school:

Lou Holtz: The former South Carolina head coach, who played linebacker at Kent State, once said of his body: “I stand 5 feet 10, weigh 152 pounds, wear glasses, speak with a lisp, and have a physique that appears like I’ve been afflicted with beriberi or scurvy most of my life.”

Jack Lambert: The Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker for Pittsburgh Steelers is considered one of best LBs of all time.

Nick Saban: The Alabama coach was a defensive back in college and still likes to coach up the Tide DBs.

Julian Edelman: The favorite target of New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was recently injured and is out for the season.

James Harrison: Almost 40, the linebacker is still playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
