Three former Notre Dame greats have the chance to be immortalized with college football’s highest honor. Linebacker Bob Grable, receiver-kick returner Raghib Ismail and offensive lineman Aaron Taylor are all on the National Football Foundation’s Hall of Fame ballot. They’ll be among 75 former players and six former coaches.
Crable was a two-time, first-team, consensus All-American, earning the distinction in both 1980 and 1981, when he served as an Irish captain. He’s Notre Dame’s all-time leading tackler and his 26 tackles in a single game is still tied for an FBS record.
