The College Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2023 was announced Monday. The group features 18 players and four coaches and is headlined by two Heisman Trophy winners, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and USC running back Reggie Bush. Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 and also helped lead the Gators to two national championships during his time in Gainesville.

"We are extremely proud to announce the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame Class," said NFF chairman Archie Manning.
