COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME QUICK FACTS

• Including the 2025 Hall of Fame Class, only 1,111 players and 237 coaches have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame from the nearly 5.78 million who have played or coached the game during the past 155 years. In other words, less than two one-hundredths of a percent (.02%) of the individuals who have played/coached the game have earned this distinction.
• Founded in 1947, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame inducted its first class of inductees in 1951. The first class included 32 players and 22 coaches, including Illinois' Red Grange, Notre Dame's Knute Rockne, Iowa’s Duke Slater, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, and Carlisle (PA)'s Jim Thorpe.
• 326 schools are represented with at least one College Football Hall of Famer.
