Former Kansas City Chiefs DT Glenn Dorsey will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of their 2020 class.

Dorsey, a standout defensive lineman for the LSU Tigers, was drafted by the Chiefs during the 2008 NFL draft with the No. 5 pick. Dorsey played for the Tigers from 2004-2007.

As a sophomore in 2005, Dorsey played in every game for the Tigers. He made his biggest impact during his final two seasons with LSU, accumulating 133 total tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and five pass deflections.

During the 2007 season, his senior year, Dorsey was considered among the best defensive players in the country. He was recognized as SEC Defensive Player of the Year. He had a laundry list of achievements, including the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, Outland Trophy and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. He was also the top-finishing defensive player in Heisman Trophy voting.

Dorsey spent the 2008-2012 seasons in Kansas City but failed to recapture the same success that he had in college. He would only record four sacks total during his career with the Chiefs, all coming in his first three seasons with the team.

In addition to Dorsey, former Chiefs DE/LB Leslie O’Neal was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame. He played for Kansas City during 1998-99, which were his final two seasons in the league. For a complete list of those to be inducted into College Football Hall of Fame in 2020, go here.
