Trio of UCLA football players make 2025 College Football Hall of Fame ballot

Three Bruins make the ballot.

On Monday, the 2025 College Football Hall of Fame ballot was released. There were plenty of notable names on the list, including first-timers such as Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Sean Taylor, all of which deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame.

The UCLA Bruins saw three players get on the ballot: John Lee, Ken Norton Jr., and first-time appearance Gaston Green.

Linebacker Ken Norton Jr., kicker John Lee and running back Gaston Green were included on the 2025 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame announced on Monday by The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame. The ballot includes players and coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision as well as from the Divisional ranks.

All three Bruins on this list are part of the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame. Green played running back in the 1980s in Westwood but might have a difficult case with so many other talented names in the fold.

The class will officially be introduced on December 9, 2025, in Las Vegas.
