The College Football Hall of Fame may just get a bit more Blue and Gold in 2021 as two former Bruins have been named to the opening ballot. Former UCLA Bruins Ken Norton Jr. and John Lee were each named to the list of finalists from the FBS by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
Norton Jr. was a member of the Bruins from 1984-1987 and won multiple bowl games during his time. He certainly increased his positional awareness after shifting to linebacker at UCLA and eventually became one of the most feared linebackers in college football.
