Aikman, Holtz among college football Hall of Fame inductees

Troy Aikman, Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon and Lou Holtz highlight the 2008 class for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

A total of 13 players and two coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) were selected for this year's Hall of Fame class.

Joining Aikman, Cannon and Holtz for enshrinement will be Virginia offensive tackle Jim Dombrowski, Northwestern linebacker Pat Fitzgerald, Florida linebacker Wilber Marshall, Washington State running back Rueben Mayes, Arizona State guard Randall McDaniel, Syracuse quarterback Don McPherson, Wyoming tight end Jay Novacek, Texas Tech end Dave Parks, Florida State nose guard Ron Simmons, Oklahoma State running back Thurman Thomas, Army quarterback Arnold Tucker and coach John Cooper.

Aikman, already a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame after starring with the Dallas Cowboys, was a consensus First Team All-America selection with UCLA in 1988, when he also received the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top quarterback and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. He was named the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1987 and led UCLA to two bowl game victories.
