Irving, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Two more former FCS Awards winners will join the College Football Hall of Fame after being selected for enshrinement Friday.<\/p>\n
Induction ceremonies will be held Dec. 8 in New York.<\/p>\n
This year’s class of 15 players and two coaches includes 1992 Walter Payton Award winner Michael Payton from Marshall and 1994 Eddie Robinson Award winner Jim Tressel from Youngstown State.<\/p>\n
Payton was Marshall’s quarterback when he won the 1992 Payton Award as the national player of the year and led the Thundering Herd to the NCAA Division I- AA (now FCS) national championship that season. He was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year and passed for over 10,000 yards in his career.<\/p>\n
Tressel is the only coach to win national titles at both the Division I-A (now FBS) and Division I-AA levels. He guided Youngstown State to four I-AA championships during his tenure from 1986-2000, including 1994 when he won the Robinson Award as the national coach of the year. He later won the I-A title with Ohio State in 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
