The NFF issued a statement on Berry’s impactful gridiron career in the collegiate ranks.
“A two-time unanimous First Team All-American, Eric Berry quickly etched his name among the all-time greats in Tennessee history with his acrobatic interceptions and defensive prowess,” NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell said. “We are thrilled to honor him at Neyland Stadium as a member of the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame Class.”
As an NFL player with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2010-18, Berry was selected to the league’s 2010s All-Decade Team, as well as earning 5 trips to the Pro Bowl and 3 First-team All-Pro selections.
Tennessee will look to make Berry proud as they aim for a third consecutive victory since falling to Florida. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. EST (CBS).
