Here's the lede to the Dartmouth Sports Publicity release on a tremendous honor. Find the entire release here. ... Lots more to come on this one, for sure.
HANOVER, N.H. - In 1975, Reggie Williams was recognized as the most conspicuous player in Dartmouth football annals since halfback Bob MacLeod was a consensus All-America in 1938.Williams' Hall class includes Boston College legend Doug Flutie, former Ohio State quarterback Rex Kern, Ahmad Rashad (Bobby Moore) of Oregon and former Notre Dame linebacker Chris Zorich.
Today, in New York City, Williams's achievements on the college gridiron were crowned by the All-America linebacker's introduction with 11 other players and two coaches from across the nation who will be inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame's Class of 2007.
He joins MacLeod and eleven other Dartmouth football players (BGA note: including Murry Bowden), coaches and administrators whose contributions, spanning more than a century, have been previously rewarded with college football's highest honor.
A three-time All-Ivy League first team selection from 1973-75, Williams place among the greatest players in Ivy League history was reinforced by his subsequent 14-year career (1976-89) with the Cincinnati Bengals.
