Michael Bishop is up for the College Football Hall of Fame.
The former Kansas State quarterback was one of 75 players and six coaches listed on the Hall of Fame’s 2017 ballot, announced Wednesday.
Bishop was nominated for the honor nine years after his stellar K-State career ended. A junior-college transfer, Bishop led the Wildcats to consecutive 11-win seasons in 1997 and 1998. As a junior, he guided K-State to an 11-1 record and a victory in the Fiesta Bowl. As a senior, he helped K-State to an 11-0 start and the first No. 1 ranking in school history.
