Michael Huff, Michael Strahan, and Graham Harrell were named amongst the College Football Hall of Fame class for 2025. The group includes 18 first-team All-Americans and four former coaches, including Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. The group will be officially inducted during the 67th National Football Foundation (NFF) Annual Awards Dinner in Las Vegas on Dec. 9. 

Huff was a three-year letterman in football at Irving Nimitz before playing his college ball at the University of Texas from 2001-05. The safety was a two-time All-Big 12 selection and the 2005 winner of the Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s top defensive back. He was a key defender on the 2005 national championship team for the Longhorns and eventually played eight years in the NFL, mostly for the Oakland Raiders. 

Strahan went to Westbury High School in Houston before enjoying a college career at nearby Texas Southern from 1989-1992. As a senior, Strahan recorded 68 tackles with a school-record 19 sacks and 32 tackles for loss. He was a first-te4am All-SWAC selection in 1992 and a two-time Player of the Year in the conference. Strahan was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame in 2014. He enjoyed a Hall of Fame career with the New York Giants, winning two Super Bowls and setting the single-season sack record while reaching seven Pro Bowls. 

Harrell was one of the most prolific passers in college football history while at Texas Tech under legendary head coach Mike Leach from 2004-2008. He played for his father, Sam, during his high school career at Ennis. While a Red Raider, Harrell became the first player in college football history with multiple 5,000 yard passing seasons. He finished his career as the all-time leader in passing touchdowns with 134.
