IRVING, Texas (June 3, 2026) – Former two-time All-American and 1996 Biletnikoff Award winner Marcus Harris has once again been selected as one of the eligible players for the upcoming National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame Class. Former Cowboy head coach Joe Glenn is also on the ballot, as he served as head coach at UW from 2003 to 2008. Harris is one of 80 players and from the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Harris ended his college football career as the NCAA's all-time career leader in total receiving yards, with 4,518.  He still ranks No. 5 all-time in NCAA history.  Harris led the nation in receiving yards as a sophomore in 1994, ranked second in 1995 and again led the nation as a senior in 1996.  He was named a First Team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) in 1995 and was a Consensus All-American in 1996.  Harris also won the prestigious Biletnikoff Award in 1996.  The Biletnikoff recognizes college football's outstanding receiver each season.
       
Not only did Harris accomplish great things individually at Wyoming, but he was part of a 1996 team that posted a 10-2 record, led the nation in passing offense (359.2 yards per game), had the nation's longest winning streak (12 games) that dated back to the end of the '95 season and ended the season ranked No. 22 in both national polls.
       
Glenn coached the Cowboys from 2003 to 2008. Glenn's high points while at Wyoming included wins over Ole Miss (2004 and 2005), Virginia (2007) and Tennessee (2008). His most memorable win at UW came in the 2004 Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl when he led the Cowboys to a 24-21 upset victory over UCLA. His best season was the 2004 campaign when his Pokes posted a 7-5 overall mark on way to their Las Vegas Bowl win. Glenn's Cowboys earned bowl eligible status one other season, in 2006 with a 6-6 mark, but were not invited to a bowl game that season.
 
He also coached at Doane, Northern Colorado, Montana, and South Dakota. He owns the highest winning percentage in Northern Colorado history, which included 11-straight winning seasons and two national titles at the NCAA Division II level. He led Montana to a 39-6 record and won the 2001 NCAA I-AA National Championship. He was a three-time AFCA Coach of the year. 
 
"For more than seven decades, the NFF College Football Hall of Fame has preserved the legacy of the game's greatest players and coaches, ensuring their stories continue to inspire future generations," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "Being named to this ballot places these remarkable individuals among an exceptionally elite group whose achievements helped shape college football history. We are proud to celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to the selection of the next Hall of Fame class."

"The strength of the NFF College Football Hall of Fame rests in the integrity of its selection process," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning, a 1989 NFF College Football Hall of Fame inductee from Ole Miss. "Each year, our members and Hall of Famers carefully evaluate an outstanding group of nominees whose accomplishments have stood the test of time. Their participation helps preserve the Hall's tradition of excellence while ensuring that the game's greatest contributors receive the recognition they deserve."
 
The announcement of the 2027 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will be made in early 2027, with specific details to be announced in the future.
 
The 2027 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will be officially inducted during the 69th NFF Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas, and they will be honored at their respective schools with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, presented by Fidelity Investments, during the 2027 season.
 
Of the 5.86 million individuals who have played college football since Princeton first battled Rutgers on Nov. 6, 1869, only 1,129 players have earned induction into the NFF College Football Hall of Fame, or less than two one-hundredths of a percent (.02%) of those who have played the game during the past 157 seasons. From the coaching ranks, 241 individuals have achieved NFF Hall of Fame distinction.
 
There are nine NFF National Scholar-Athletes on the 2027 Ballot, including FBS players Jeff Bregel (USC), Barrett Jones (2012 NFF Campbell Trophy® recipient from Alabama), Colt McCoy (Texas), DeMeco Ryans (Alabama), Manti Te'o (Notre Dame) and Jonathan Vilma (Miami, FL). The divisional NFF National Scholar-Athlete nominees on the 2027 Ballot include Keith Elias (Princeton), Gerald Quinlivan (Buffalo), and Thomas Stenglein (Colgate).
 
The NFF has recognized 954 NFF National Scholar-Athletes since 1959, and only 49 have earned the distinction as both an NFF Hall of Famer and an NFF National Scholar-Athlete, creating arguably one of the most unique and elite fraternities in all of sports. And of those 49 dual honorees, only Alex Mack (California), Peyton Manning (Tennessee), Matt Stinchcomb (Georgia), Tim Tebow (Florida) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida) have also claimed The William V. Campbell Trophy®.
