The College Football Hall of Fame is out with its latest class and it features 19 first-team All-America players and 3 standout coaches. They came from a national ballot of 78 players and 9 coaches from the FBS and 101 players and 32 coaches from the divisional ranks.
“We are extremely proud to announce the 2024 College Football Hall of Fame Class,” Archie Manning, NFF Chairman and a 1989 College Football Hall of Famer from Ole Miss, said in a release. “Each of these men has established himself among the absolute best to have ever played or coached the game, and we look forward to immortalizing their incredible accomplishments.”
The class will officially be inducted during the 66th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 10 at Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
The inductees will also be recognized at their respective collegiate institutions in the fall. Their accomplishments will be forever immortalized at the College Football Hall of Fame, which is celebrating its 10th Anniversary in Atlanta on Aug. 23. Each inductee will receive a custom ring.
