College football programs generally have thresholds for recruiting, but dozens of players around the country fall on extreme ends of the height scale.
Bleacher Report is taking a look at some of the most significant smallest and tallest talents in 2016. The heights used throughout the piece are taken from each school's official roster as of Aug. 26.
Now, we cannot control if a program exaggerates heights—like Stanford listed Ty Montgomery at 6'2", yet he measured in slightly below 6'0" at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine.
The next slide covers a couple dozen other notable short and tall players before continuing with five of the best in each category.
