Former LSU offensive linemen Alan Faneca and Kevin Mawae made the list of 27 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2018, announced by Hall officials on Tuesday.
Ex-Grambling State and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Everson Walls also made the list, which includes six first-year eligible candidates: Ronde Barber; Steve Hutchinson; Ray Lewis; Randy Moss; Richard Seymour; and Brian Urlacher.
Walls, LeRoy Butler, Leslie O'Neal and Simeon Rice are semifinalists for the first time after being eligible in previous years.
Traditionally, there are only 25 semifinalists but Hall of Fame bylaws allow the list to include all ties for the 25th position, as has occurred this year.
