For some college football players, hoverboards are running end zone fade

DALLAS — They have been blamed for hundreds of visits to emergency rooms, banned from airplanes for spontaneously combusting batteries, investigated by a federal agency and pulled from some online stores due to safety concerns.

Once a curiosity and a craze, hoverboards have officially become a controversy as 2015 comes to a close. And, odds are, at least a few players on your favorite college football team use them regularly for transportation.

“I can hover around very smoothly,” said Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland, who bought his hoverboard from a friend earlier this year. “It’s cool to me that I can roll everywhere instead of walk sometimes.”

Nearly a dozen players from teams in the College Football Playoff acknowledged that they own a hoverboard, and several others said they have tried it. Michigan State safety Montae Nicholson wanted to bring his here to ride around this week prior to the Cotton Bowl — until the airline denied it. And even Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin got in on the trend, buying them as Christmas presents for his three children.
