An SF 49ers legend, offensive tackle Harris Barton, was just named to the College Football Hall of Fame, and he deserves the accolade.

Congratulations are surely in order to former SF 49ers offensive tackle Harris Barton, who was recently named to the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame class.

The 2021 class, officially announced on Monday, Jan. 11, included Barton, who solidified an excellent collegiate career at North Carolina between 1983 and 1986. During that span before going pro, Barton was a four-year starter and was named to the All-American Scholar/Athlete Team and Academic All-ACC team while also receiving an ACC Outstanding Offensive Lineman award, too.
