also found a link to an article about last year's night of champions on the texas rivals site:
"TCU's annual Night of Champions is the team's powerlifting event that showcases some of the strongest players on the team. This year there was some really scary looking weight being thrown around. Let's take a look at the top performers from each category.
Here are the Top Performers in the Squat:
Freshman quarterback Shawn Robinson - 570 pounds
Sophomore running back Darius Anderson - 660 pounds
Junior linebacker Ty Summers - 700 pounds
Junior linebacker Alec Dunham - 750 pounds
750 lbs & he made it look easy️ #FrogFactor #NightofChampions pic.twitter.com/AWW4fG1v1I

Iron Frog Winners
(Overall strength by weight class - not necessarily tied to Night of Champions)
Jeff Gladney: Light (<189)
Niko Small: Middle (190-214)
Sewo Olonilua: Heavy (215-254)
L.J. Collier: Super Heavy (255+)
one thing that stood out to me was the only 3 seniors who posted lifts among the top 4 performers among the 4 lifts was john diarse, patrick morris, and nick orr
understand being able to do a great deal of weight doesn't automatically make you a good football player, but some interesting names in that article.
