Ray Lewis Named to 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class

On Saturday evening, what many had speculated early in the process came true. Former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Ray Lewis was named a member of the 2018 class for NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Lewis, in his first year of eligibility, was named to the class. To be inducted candidates need a minimum of 80% of votes in their favor to become an enshrinee.

A former two-way star from Kathleen High School, Lewis enrolled at the University of Miami after receiving a late scholarship offer from then head coach Dennis Erickson to UM. Starting in 1993, the college football world began to hear about the up-and-coming linebacker for the Hurricanes after Lewis started at middle linebacker as a true freshman.
