HBCU Football – Week 3: Top 5 games to watch this weekend

ATLANTA, Ga.  — The Black College Football Hall of Fame announced Thursday the 25 finalists for induction into the Black College Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018. The list includes 22 players and three coaches.

The finalists were selected from a field of over 150 nominees by a 12-member Selection Committee composed of prominent journalists, commentators, historians, former NFL General Managers and football executives.

“The talent that has come from Black College Football programs is incredible,” said Committee Chairman Roscoe Nance, “and that makes selecting the honorees incredibly difficult. Thanks to our Selection Committee for its dedication and commitment and for the tremendous amount of time and effort that the members put into making these decisions.”

The committee will meet again in the coming weeks to select the six members (five players and one coach) who will be inducted as the Black College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2018.

“We congratulate the finalists for the Class of 2018,” said James “Shack” Harris, Black College Football Co-Founder and 2012 Inductee. “Each of these finalists made a significant impact on the game of football, both in college and the professional ranks.”

This year’s inductees will be announced on Oct. 25. They will be honored during the Black College Football Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, on February 10, 2018, in Atlanta.
