Aaron Donald is best-known to the average football fan for the legendary NFL career he put together with the St. Louis Rams and then the Los Angeles Rams.
It culminated in him winning a Lombardi Trophy, but Donald was already an extremely accomplished football player even before the Rams took him with the 13th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Donald was a college superstar for the Pitt Panthers, where he became an All-American and a Bronko Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik award winner. Those are basically the defensive MVP awards for college football.
It’s now come out that Donald, alongside 21 others, has been named as part of the 2026 College Football Hall of Fame class.
Darnold is arguably the biggest name, but he’s far from the only one.
It’s a list that includes former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram, a Heisman Trophy winner, and former Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh.
