Top 10 College Football Hits Of All Time

The era of enormous hits in college and professional football has come to an abrupt end with all the new rules implemented to protect players. It’s a necessary safety measure with how big and fast these guys are getting. It just sucks we don’t get to see many plays like these anymore:

10. Stanford Samuels – Florida State, 2003

Why it made the list: A huge hit like this in a rivalry game is a momentum changer. Perfect stick.

9. Dwayne Slay – Texas Tech, 2005

Why it made the list: Slay’s reaction while watching his hit on the jumbotron is priceless. And the guy’s name is Slay.

8. Kevin Ellison – USC, 2006

Why it made the list: It’s a huge hit, and DeSean Jackson was on the business end of it. Humble pie.

7. Quinton Moore – Oklahoma State, 2005

Why it made the list: Lights out + it looked like he literally took his head off.

6. Nehemiah Warrick – Michigan State, 2007

Why it made the list: Lays the hit, keeps his feet, runs out of frame. Great follow through.

      Was just copying the URL for this video. Expecting the new release of another top 10 with this included. Fuck you and the BIG 12 Dorn.

      I was at that game. The entire stadium went quiet because people thought he was dead.

      It isn’t a great video, but he literally knocked Junior Rosegreen unconscious. Junior didn’t move for like 2 minutes. I was at that game, in the UGA student section, and I’ve never seen a crowd react like it did, just going silent. That play also changed the feel of the game, which Auburn would win.

      reasons this should be here.
      1. Everyone thought he was dead
      2. guy saw the hit coming and braced for it and still got the shit knocked out of him
      3. Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry
      4. after the season ended they used this hit to help make a helmet-to-helmet penalty

    I wouldn’t put any helmet-to-helmet hits in the top 10. Just not right for the game.

      Your sister trolling your account? Grow some balls, it’s a top 10 list of big hits not a list of top 10 clean tackles. If you’re looking for that, I’m sure you can find some arena football highlights out there.

      …You can deliver a good hit without giving someone brain damage. Why should someone have their career ended just because you want to see people get knocked out?

      They flagged him for that hit too. Stole that clean hit away from him

    Dorn shouldn’t have shown sympathy to SFPL by letting him use his name as the writer.

    There’s only one SEC hit, and only because it was just ridiculous. I’m disappointed, Dorn. You worthless piece of Big-12 shit!
