CANTON, Ohio – Former University of Memphis wide receiver Isaac Bruce, a 1,000-yard receiver for the Tigers during the 1993 season, was voted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday. He is the first player in the program's history to be selected to the Hall of Fame.
Bruce came to then-Memphis State in 1992 after two seasons of junior college. He made an immediate impact on the Tiger football squad, earning a starting position in the 1992 opener and never looking back. Teaming with quarterback Steve Matthews, Bruce gave Memphis one of the nation's top passing attacks, finishing with 39 receptions for 532 yards and five touchdowns as a junior.
