Even if you have never seen Wisconsin defensive lineman Olive Sagapolu play a down of football, you can probably conclude that he is one of the most athletic nose tackles in the country. Why? You’ll see.
Sagapolu, a senior who weighs a cool 336 pounds, is capable of doing a backflip. No, we’re not talking about some uncoordinated backflip where he falls all over himself and everyone laughs — an actual backflip where he lands on his feet. Observe:

Your high school physics teacher probably would have told you that is impossible. While we have seen college football players pull off some impressive backflip feats in the past, this may be the greatest. Someone who weighs over 300 pounds simply should not be capable of that.
