It was made official Monday morning: Peyton Manning and Steve Spurrier are part of the Class of 2017 for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Former Arkansas coach Danny Ford also was selected, as was former Texas A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen, who played for the Aggies before they were in the SEC.
Ten players and three coaches were chosen for induction. Spurrier is going in as a coach; he was inducted as a player in 1986, a year before he became the coach at Duke.
The former “Head Ball Coach” joins Amos Alonzo Stagg, Bobby Dodd and Bowden Wyatt as the only men inducted as players and coaches.
