On Tuesday, the National Football Foundation (NFF) announced the former players under consideration for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2027 and former Boise State quarterback and current New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has made the list again and rightfully so.
While Moore may be more known around New Orleans for his leadership of the Saints, he had a pretty prestigious college football career before later gravitating so naturally into coaching.
The former Boise State QB was named First Team All-American and Quarterback of the Year twice (2010 and 2011) He also set records to become the NCAA’s passer rating leader (2010) and completion percentage leader (2011) and earned three conference Player of the Year honors (2-WAC and 1-MWC).
Moore is currently Boise State’s all-time leading passer (14,667 yards) He played 53 in games for the Broncos throwing 142 TDs and just 28 INTs for a passer rating of 169. After leading Boise State to 50-3 record, Kellen Moore is highly respected as the winningest quarterback in college football history.
The NFF’s 2027 ballot includes 80 players and nine coaches from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 99 players and 39 coaches from the NCAA divisional and NAIA ranks and was emailed to more than 12,000 NFF members and current NFF Hall of Famers whose votes will be tabulated and submitted to the NFF Honors Court, which will deliberate and select the 2027 class.
The announcement of the 2027 NFF Hall of Fame Class will take place next January with the induction ceremony taking place later in the year during the NFF Annual Awards Dinner.
