Linebacker Lucius Sanford, one of the best defenders in Georgia Tech history, is among the 75 players and six coaches on the 2017 College Hall of Fame ballot announced Wednesday.
Sanford, from Milledgeville, was a three sport letterman at Atlanta's West Fulton High School in football, track and basketball.
He was a four-year starter from 1975-78 at Georgia Tech where he earned All-America honors at linebacker in 1977. He was a three-time All-South Independent selection in 1975, 1976 and 1977.
Sanford finished his career as Georgia Tech's career leader in tackles (433), a figure that still ranks among the best in program history.
