Three former Florida players — Percy Harvin, Alex Brown and Kevin Carter — were named among 89 FBS candidates on the 2027 National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
Harvin brings the strongest statistical case: 3,781 all-purpose yards, 32 touchdowns, two first-team All-America honors and key roles in two SEC and two national title teams from 2006-08.
Brown holds Florida records with 13 sacks in a season and 33 in a career, while Carter finished with 21.5 sacks and 42.5 tackles for loss after helping lead four straight bowl teams.
Florida has produced 15 College Football Hall of Famers, with Urban Meyer the most recent in the 2025 class; the 2027 class will be announced in early 2027 and inducted at the 69th NFF Awards Dinner.
