2. Brian Bosworth

If you thought that I was going to make this list without putting the Bos on it, you were dead wrong. If I failed to include Brian Bosworth on this list, I’d be afraid he’d come for me himself and trust me, not even the baddest of the bad want that.

Bosworth made history when he went head to head with one of THE most intimidating and powerful organizations in the country — the NCAA. Boz battles with what he so famously called the “National Communists Against Athletes” sometimes overshadow the fact that he was one of the most intimidating and terrifying players on the field in his days at Oklahoma.

At 6-foot-2, 238 pounds, Boz was a bone-smashing tackler that wasn’t afraid to take on the NCAA, nor was he afraid to take on any other player on the field. The Boz scared just about everyone on the field, especially opposing quarterbacks who found themselves stranded behind a mediocre offensive line.

From his (sometimes-questionable) haircuts to his massive size and athleticism, Boz’s super-villain attitude and ability to get to the quarterback and terrify opposing linemen landed him a sure-fire spot on this list.

Love him? Hate him? The Boz didn’t care, he was coming for you either way and that, my friends, is why this specific college football super villain terrified so many.
