Former Nebraska Heisman-winning quarterback Eric Crouch and Outland Trophy award winner Zach Wiegert are among 76 former Football Bowl Subdivision players on the 2016 College Football Hall of Fame Ballot, which was released by the National Football Foundation on Tuesday.
Crouch is on the ballot for the fifth straight year, while this year marks the first time Wiegert had made an appearance. The 2016 class will be announced on Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, the Friday before the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Crouch will look to become the second Husker quarterback in the College Hall of Fame, joining Tommie Frazier who was part of the 2013 class.
