FSU's Simmons, UF's Marshall Elected To College Hall
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: May 2, 2008
Former Florida State nose guard Ron Simmons and former Florida linebacker Wilbur Marshall were among 13 players and two coaches elected Thursday to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Simmons was a two-time first team consensus All-American nose guard who played for the Seminoles from 1977-80. Marshall was a two-time concensus All-American linebacker who played for the Gators from 1980-82
The 2008 class will be inducted at the National Football Foundation's Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 9 at New York City's prestigious Waldorf-Astoria and officially enshrined at the Hall in South Bend, Ind., in the summer of 2009.
Former Seminole great Deion Sanders, considered by many the most talented and important player in FSU history, remains on the outside looking in. Sanders failed for the second year to earn enough votes from the National Football Foundation members.
