Lytle would have been ‘humbled’ by Hall of Fame honor

Rob Lytle was all about the team, and he is joining another Tuesday night when he is inducted posthumously into the College Football Hall of Fame.

His son, Kelly Lytle, on Tuesday morning participated in the National Football Foundation news conference in advance of the formal induction Tuesday night of 17 new members of the College Football Hall of Fame, and spoke eloquently on behalf of his late father. The inductees will be introduced Tuesday night at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

Lytle was 56 when he died of a heart attack in 2010.

“I was thinking what would Dad say if he were up here today,” Rob Lytle said at the news conference.
