Legendary Tennessee linebacker Al Wilson was named to the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame Class on Monday afternoon. Wilson is the 25th former Tennessee Volunteers football player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, in a ceremony that will take place this December.
Those who watched Al Wilson in college (or, heck, even watch his old game tape on Youtube nowadays) are not surprised. Wilson’s Tennessee accolades speak for themselves. He arrived after an illustrious career at Jackson Central-Merry High School, where he was viewed as the top prospect in the region.
