Former Badgers star Montee Ball selected to College Football Hall of Fame

The 2025 College Football Hall of Fame Class was revealed on Wednesday afternoon, and the Wisconsin Badgers saw one of their alumni hear their name called, as former running back Montee Ball became the 13th Badger player to be inducted.

Ball, one of the best running backs in both Badgers and College Football history, had a long list of accomplishments at Wisconsin, becoming a two-time consensus First Team All-American (2011, 2012) and winning the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s best running back in 2012.

Spearheading one of the best offenses in college football, Ball helped lead Wisconsin to three consecutive Rose Bowl appearances, breaking a number of records along the way.
