The Black College Football Hall of Fame announced today the 25 finalists for induction into the Class of 2023.

The list includes 21 players and four coaches.

“We congratulate the class of 2023 finalists and look forward to welcoming the next group of legends into the Black College Football Hall of Fame,” said James “Shack” Harris, chairman and co-founder. “Each Finalist represents the best of Black College Football.”

The Finalists were selected from a field of over 200 nominees by an 11-member selection committee composed of prominent journalists, commentators, historians, former NFL general managers and football executives.

“A big thank you to the selection committee for their dedication and hard work in selecting this year’s finalists,” said committee Chairman Charlie Neal. “The one common thread the committee found among this year’s finalists is football reveals character and the character of this year’s finalists is at the top of the list.”

This year’s inductees will be announced on December 8, 2022. They will be recognized for the first time at the second annual HBCU Legacy Bowl in New Orleans on February 25, 2023, and honored during the 14th annual Black College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, June 10, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia.
