Aaron Donald, Mark Ingram, Ndamukong Suh Headline 2026 College Football Hall of Fame Class

Legendary defensive linemen Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh are among the notable honorees in the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2026.

Other inductees include Marvin Harrison, Mark Ingram and Peter Warrick. Former head coach Gary Patterson and Chris Petersen got the nod as well:

Donald won a slew of individual awards as a senior at Pittsburgh after totaling 11 sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss. He had also compiled 34.5 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks in the two years before that.

Suh likewise grew into one of the most disruptive defenders in all of college football. In 2009, he had 12 sacks, 20.5 tackles for loss and one interception. Those numbers were good enough for a fourth-place finish in the Heisman Trophy voting.

Ingram instead took home the Heisman that year. He ran 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns as Alabama bested Texas in the BCS title game.

Warrick was an electric pass-catcher in his five-year run at Florida State. Between 1998 and 1999, he averaged 103.1 receiving yards per game and had 24 total touchdowns in 21 games.

The Seminoles went wire-to-wire in 1999, topping the Associated Press' Top 25 poll and going 12-0 to win a national title.

Harrison was one of the NFL's most prolific receivers during a 13-year career with the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning was a far cry from the quarterbacks he had at Syracuse.

Harrison closed out his Orange career with 56 catches for 1,131 yards and eight touchdowns in 1995, which was the only year he had eventual six-time Pro Bowler Donovan McNabb under center.

On the coaching side, Petersen and Patterson helped bring national prominence to programs that were outside of a power conference.

TCU's move to the Big 12 doesn't happen if the Horned Frogs weren't dominating the Mountain West. They also went 13-0 and won the Rose Bowl in 2010, cementing themselves as a serious threat.

Boise State notched 10-plus wins in each of Petersen's first seven years, and the Broncos' 2007 Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma is a seminal moment in shifting the perceptions around teams outside of the big conferences.

Petersen also won 55 games in six years at Washington, taking the Huskies to the College Football Playoff in 2016.
