Rutgers defensive tackle Darius Hamilton is a big fan of platinum-selling recording artists One Direction.
No, that's not a joke about the 6-foot-4, 260-pound Hamilton's size. Though yes, we are talking about the planet's current preeminent boy band. And yes, when we say "big fan," that's not meant as an exaggeration, or with the slightest hint of irony.
Listen to Hamilton discuss One Direction in this ESPN clip from Big Ten Football Media Days, and it's clear he's speaking from a place of true, passionate fandom and honest concern for the group's future.
Also, he puts his roommate Julian "on blast" for "hurting the One Direction community" with his disingenuous shame over Hamilton's musical taste. Hamilton doesn't actually break into song here (sadly), but you've got to watch:
