All three Tennessee football players who made the 2020 College Football Hall of Fame ballot raised eyebrows in different ways. Many questioned how the three Vols were not already in there given their accomplishments.
One was defensive back Bobby Majors. The brother of Johnny Majors, he set an SEC record at the time for interceptions with 10 in 1971, and that’s a school record that still stands. Setting records like that should’ve put him in the Hall of Fame years ago.
Another one was Larry Seivers. He’s the OG of UT becoming Wide Receiver U, and he was a two-time All-American in 1975 and 1976.
