Curiosities of the Super Bowl roster
– We mentioned that the state of Ohio and Alabama did not have a player in the Super Bowl. It’s a rarity for the big game, as one Ohio university was able to point out knowing that Javon Hagan will be playing in the game.
– Colorado State-Pueblo, a Division II program, has one player on both teams. Mike Pennel of Kansas City and Ryan Jensen of Tampa Bay will represent the ThunderWolves at Super Bowl 55.
– More proof players can come from anywhere. Eight Super Bowl 55 players have played in the FCS, including two from James Madison to Aaron Stinnie and Josh Wells. Seven played in Division II and one in Division III.
– The SEC still leads all conferences with 25 players in the Super Bowl. The Big Ten is second with 20, followed by the ACC (11), Pac-12 (5) and Big 12 (4).
– Iowa has four players between the two teams. Anthony Hitchens and Ben Niemann play for the Chiefs, and Anthony Nelson and Tristan Wirfs play for the Buccaneers.
