2012 College Football Hall Of Fame Ballot Features Three Spartans, Former Coach

EAST LANSING, Mich. -

Three former Michigan State All-Americans - wide receiver Kirk Gibson, linebacker Percy Snow and running back Lorenzo White - along with former Spartan head coach Darryl Rogers are featured on the National Football Foundation's 2012 (Football Bowl Subdivision) ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. It marks the first year on the ballot for Snow.

The ballot, mailed this week to the more than 12,000 NFF members and current Hall of Famers, contains the names of 76 players and eight coaches. Those votes will be tabulated and submitted to the NFF's Honors Court, chaired by former Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner and NCAA President Gene Corrigan, which deliberates and selects the class. The 14-member NFF Honors Court includes an elite and geographically diverse pool of athletics directors, conference commissioners, Hall of Famers and media members.
