How the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductees were selected

The process that produced these inductees started with the release of the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame ballot on June 6, 2022. There were 80 players and nine coaches listed on the ballot from the Football Bowl Subdivision, while 96 players and 33 coaches were added from the divisional ranks.

The names went through a two-round voting process. The first round involved the selection by voters of 11 players and three coaches from the FBS ballot. In addition, 10 players and three coaches were selected from the divisional ballot.

The second round saw voters choose the finalists; five players and one coach from the FBS ballot and four players and one coach from the divisional ballot.

Tim Tebow played college football at Florida

This class of inductees is so star-studded and includes some of the most remarkable players in college football history. For instance, Tim Tebow and Reggie Bush are two of the most impressive college football players of the 2000s.

Luke Kuechly also had one of the most sterling college football careers by a linebacker in the 21st century. Names like Mark Richt and Paul Johnson also stand out among the coaches.

The inductees will be honored at their respective colleges with NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salutes. They will be presented with custom rings created by the official and exclusive supplier of NFF rings, Jostens. The Hall of Famers will also be immortalized at the Chick-fil-A-College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.
