Former Denver Broncos coach Bill Kollar and former quarterback Tim Tebow were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday. The two were first elected to the Hall of Fame in January.
Tebow was a college standout at the University of Florida, where he was a member of two national championship-winning teams, in 2007 and 2009. He was drafted 25th overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2010 NFL draft. In 2011, Tebow’s fourth-quarter heroics led the Broncos to a wild-card playoff berth. Denver made it to the AFC divisional game before losing to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots. After that season, Tebow was traded to the New York Jets when the Broncos signed Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. Tebow is now an ESPN college football analyst.
Kollar was one of the masterminds behind the 2015 “No-Fly Zone” defense that helped Denver win Super Bowl 50. In college at Montana State, Kollar had a stellar 1973 season, when he recorded 17 tackles, one sack, three fumble recoveries and three pass breakups. Kollar is the first former Bobcat to be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
