Barton, Peppers Named On Ballot For College Football HOF

IRVING, Texas - Carolina football legends Harris Barton and Julius Peppers are included on the 2021 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, the National Football Foundation (NFF) announced on Tuesday.

Barton was a four-year starter for the Tar Heels, first at center and then at tackle as one of the best offensive lineman ever to play in college football. A first-team All-America in 1986, Barton was named first team All-ACC as a senior when he led an offensive line that helped Carolina rank first in the Atlantic Coast Conference and sixth nationally in total offense.
