Three Trojans named to 2017 College Football Hall of Fame ballot

USC could be well-represented at the College Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony next January.

The 2017 College Football Hall of Fame ballot was released Wednesday and three Trojans made the cut. Safety Mark Carrier, quarterback Matt Leinart, and strong safety Troy Polamalu are the representatives for the Trojans, part of a star-studded ballot, whose class will be announced on January 6, 2017.

Mark Carrier was one of the most prolific safeties of his time. Named a USA Today High School All-American in 1985, he had a tremendous career at USC.
