Every Pac-12 player on the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame ballot
The College Football Hall of Fame released its 2023 ballot on Monday and of the 80 players listed in the FBS, 17 of them hailed from a current Pac-12 school.
Colorado had two players named while Utah, Stanford, Oregon USC, Cal, UCLA, Washington State and Arizona State also had at least one nomination. Overall, it wasn’t a bad year for the Conference of Champions.
Several of these players also had great NFL success, with the Golden Bears especially flaunting a trio of big names.
