Former Colorado wide receiver Michael Westbrook on College Football Hall of Fame ballot

The wide receiver who made the most memorable catch in University of Colorado history could be headed for the College Football Hall of Fame.

Michael Westbrook is one of 75 players and six coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision on the ballot for induction into the organization’s 2018 class. The announcement for the class will be made Jan. 8, 2018, in Atlanta, ahead of the national championship game.

“It’s an enormous honor to just be on the ballot when you think that more than 5.19 million people have played college football and only 987 players have been inducted,” National Football Foundation president Steve Hatchell said in a statement.
