On Monday it was formally announced that former Syracuse football wideout Marvin Harrison is a 2020 candidate for the College Football Hall of Fame.
This will be Marvin’s second chance at solidifying his collegiate legacy. Someone becomes eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame 10 years after their final year of intercollegiate football played. Which would’ve been 2005 (Harrison last played at Syracuse in 1995), but there’s another clause in the requirements that also states that players who go on to play professionally “aren’t eligible until after they retire”, which would’ve been in 2008 for Marvin once he retired with the Indianapolis Colts.
