Bilo/Conlon Family College Football Hall of Legends: Running Back Wing

Welcome to the Running Back Wing of the Bilo/Conlon Family College Football Hall of Legends. The Hall was created to honor all running backs in the game of college football from all levels, from NAIA to FBS who not only exhibited special traits on the field, but also lived well off of the field, and lived by a code of conduct that should be expected of legends. There are some players on this list who are already in the College Football Hall of Fame, and we honor those players along with players who we feel should be enshrined and inducted into the Hall at some point in time, but have not been for whatever reason. Players are eligible for induction upon exhausting their eligibility, as there is no waiting period. Players are listed in alphabetical order, with schools they played for, and the final season they took the field. Congratulations to our honorees.
