College athletics have a lot of glamour and marketing surrounding the field but it is also a notorious place where future leaders and celebrities gain the necessary skills and experience to later go on and become extraordinary. We dug deep and found 22 notable people who went to achieve some pretty amazing things, and yes we excluded pro athletes because that’s just cheating.
Prince William
The future King of England used to play water polo at St. Andrews. I wonder if that’s how he dazzled his wife, Kate Middleton. I mean, it’s not like the man is a plumber.

Dwayne Johnson
All right, so we’re cheating here, a lot of people know this. Before Dwayne Johnson became a huge actor in Hollywood, he was a wrestler in WrestleMania (I love The Rock forever!), and before that, he was a defensive tackle for the University of Miami when they took the national championship in 1991. Sadly, an injury ended his football career but I don’t think we need to send him any chocolate gift baskets over the matter.
