Even though a former Boise State player is part of the winningest team in college football history, he will not be entering the College Football Hall Of Fame. Instead, 18 players, including Tim Tebow, Reggie Bush, Michael Stonebreaker, and others, are part of the 2023 class. Overall, eighteen players and four coaches will be enshrined in Las Vegas on December fifth of this year.

The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame made the announcement today. Several experts believed that former Boise State Quarterback and current Dallas Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore would be part of 2023.

A Look At Boise State's Kellen Moore

Kellen Moore: Dominance Over The Years

Kellen Moore's 50 career victories as the starting quarterback at Boise State University remain the most by any QB in NCAA football history. Moore, who was touted as one of the most brilliant minds in college football has now taken those brains to the NFL where Dallas fans can't get enough of him.

Coach Moore led Boise State to a 50-3 record as a four-year starter at Boise State. He was the first quarterback to win 50 games in his career. The Touchdown Club of Columbus has named their award after him. Coach Moore was known as one of the game's most accurate passers-by at the end of his career, leading the nation in completion percentage.

What Does It Take To Get Into the College Football Hall Of Fame?

The players were selected on a national ballot of eighty players and nine coaches from the Football Subdivision. College football legend "We are extremely proud to announce the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame Class," said Archie Manning, NFF Chairman and a 1989 College Football Hall of Famer from Mississippi.
