On Thursday, the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame announced its inaugural Induction Class of 45 former players. Of those 45, 15 are former Georgia football players.
The voting began in the early spring. By mid-June, the final ballot was narrowed down to 100 names. The nine former Georgia high school football players who are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame earned automatic inductions, which included two former UGA players — Champ Bailey and Fran Tarkenton.
There were eight eras represented: Pre-1950’s, 1950’s, 1960’s, GIA, 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s.
