Pitt College Football Hall of Famers
4/25/2006 12:00:00 AM | Football
The list of Pitt greats to receive election into the College Football Hall of Fame grew longer with the announcement that Mark May would be a member of the 2005 induction class. One of the greatest offensive linemen in college football history, May was the 23rd Pitt player or coach to earn induction into the College Football Hall of Fame and the seventh in the last 11 years.
A devastating offensive tackle for the Panthers from 1977-80, May was a vital cog on some of the greatest teams in Pitt history. The winner of the 1980 Outland Trophy, he went on to NFL fame with the Washington Redskins and today is a popular college football studio host and analyst for ESPN. Pitt retired May's No. 73 jersey in 2001, making him just the eighth player to be so honored.
