If you're talking all around athletic ability it's Texas A&M.

If not picking our own team I would say that LSU probably has the best athletes.

Wow 17 5 stars, thats impressive. IIRC, quite a few were DBs right? And you have like 1 (FitzBadger) playing at a 5 star level?

As of today, Alabama USC and Ohio State are the only schools whose "average" player is 90 or above on that 247 composite list they put out a few weeks ago.
Does that simply turn into the best athletes? I don't know about that. Do we consider 270 5* DE's athletes? I certainly do but the OP may have meant 'skill position' type athletes

If I recall, there are four 5 star DBs on the roster: Tony Brown (Soph), Marlon Humphrey (RS Fresh), Kendall Sheffield (True Fresh), Minkah Fitzpatrick (True Fresh).
Fitzpatrick is starting as a true freshman in nickel and playing very well.
Humphrey is starting at corner as a RS Freshman and starting to play well, has made some mistakes typical of first year players.
Tony Brown started some as a true freshman, got hurt, and has been passed by Humphrey for now.
Sheffield is red-shirting, which isn't unusual for DBs at Alabama unless there is a huge need to play early.
I don't think Alabama fans are disappointed with any of these young 5 star DBs in the least. These guys are coming along and the next couple of years Alabama's secondary could be beastly.

How do you measure that, though? What their stars were. Adjusting for coaching boons/deficiencies. Adjusting for opposing team -- were they really that fast & strong? etc. etc. or was the opposition for the most part substandard to some degree? Are we measuring by agility, dexterity, outright sprinting speed? Strength, endurance, injury resistance? Again, this kind of question is just the wrong kind. We could ask: Which team had the best players regarding x, y and z but asking who had the greatest athletes of all time is just stretching it. Athleticism can't be measured like this, so the OP is just frickin' wrong, baw.

A&M is not the choice for across the board but if you are talking about number of individual "freaks" there is a strong argument. They are all concentrated at WR, DL, and QB though.
Speedy
Kirk
Reynolds
Kyler Murray
Daylon Mack
Dae Dae Hall
and I am not convinced that Myles Garrett is actually a human being.

I dont think any team has been on the level of 2007 Florida or 2007 Oklahoma since. OU had 3 top 5 draft picks that's never happened before, and we all know how talented that FL team was. This year I think it has to be Ohio State. They are stacked.
