The term “Hall of Famer” is going to be associated with Haloti Ngata soon enough.
The former Oregon Ducks defensive lineman was nominated for the College Football Hall of Fame once again. He is one of 78 former players and nine coaches that performed on the Division I level that was so honored.
It’s almost unbelievable Ngata hasn’t already been enshrined into the Hall that is in Atlanta. In 2005, Ngata became Oregon’s first consensus All-American since 1962 and the first player in program history to be named Pac-12 defensive player of the year.
Ngata will also be eligible for the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio for the first time in 2024. He played 13 years in the NFL with none of those seasons as a Baltimore Raven. Ngata was an integral part of the defense that won the Super Bowl in 2013.
