LAS VEGAS – It has been nearly a year since Illinois State football great Boomer Grigsby learned that he had earned a spot among college football's all-time greats as a member of the 2022 College Football Hall of Fame Class. That long wait comes to an end Tuesday, when the 2022 College Football Hall of Fame Class will officially be inducted during the 64th NFF Annual Awards Dinner.
Grigsby is one of 18 First Team All-America players and three standout coaches in the 2022 Class that were selected from the national ballot of 78 players and seven coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision, the 99 players and 33 coaches from the divisional ranks and the NFF Veterans Committee candidates.
