IRVING, Texas – Two UNI football legends, Running back Carl Boyd and coach Clyde "Buck" Starbeck, are candidates on the 2021 National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
The ballot consists of 99 players and 33 coaches from the divisional ranks. The requirements on the player side include first-team All-American honors for the players and a 10-year coaching career with over.600 win percentage.
"It's an enormous honor to just be on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot considering more than 5.4 million people have played college football and only 1,027 players have been inducted," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell.
