The National Football Foundation revealed this week that the 2027 College Football Hall of Fame ballot will include a distinguished group of former players and coaches, among them three who wore the orange and blue for the University of Florida.
Florida's Hall of Fame Footprint
Florida’s presence in the Hall stretches back decades, with fifteen inductees spanning both player and coach categories. The list includes legends such as Steve Spurrier, who earned his place as both a player and a coach, and Urban Meyer, the most recent Gator to be honored in the 2025 class.

Among the nominees for the upcoming class are Alex Brown, Kevin Carter and Percy Harvin, each of whom left an indelible mark on Florida’s storied football history.
Ceremony and Celebration
The induction ceremony is slated for the 69th NFF Annual Awards Dinner, where the 2027 class will be celebrated. Details of the event will be released in the coming months, and the honorees will be recognized at their respective schools throughout the 2027 season.
Beyond the individual accolades, the ballot underscores the University of Florida’s ongoing influence on the national stage, a legacy nurtured by the National Football Foundation and its partnership with institutions like the University of Florida.
