2026 NFF College Football Hall of Fame ballot, the three Miami Hurricanes legends officially named are:
1. Ray Lewis (LB, 1993–1995)
Accolades: 2× First-Team All-Big East, All-American (1995), Butkus Award finalist
Legacy: Ray Lewis was a dominant force at linebacker for Miami, known for his sideline-to-sideline speed and relentless pursuit. He led the team in tackles in both 1994 and 1995 and finished his college career with 388 total tackles.
Post-College: 2× Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, 13× Pro Bowler, NFL Hall of Famer.
2. Ken Dorsey (QB, 1999–2002)
Accolades: 2× Big East Offensive Player of the Year, Heisman Trophy finalist, National Champion (2001)
Legacy: Dorsey led Miami to an incredible 38–2 record as a starter, including a 34-game win streak and a national championship. He threw for 9,565 yards and 86 touchdowns and is one of the most successful QBs in college football history.
Post-College: NFL QB, now a coach (most recently with the Buffalo Bills as OC).
3. Bryant McKinnie (OT, 2000–2001)
Accolades: Outland Trophy winner (2001), Unanimous All-American, 2× First-Team All-Big East
Legacy: A literal and figurative giant on the offensive line, McKinnie never allowed a sack during his college career. He anchored the line for the 2001 Miami Hurricanes — often considered the greatest college team of all time.
Post-College: Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens, Pro Bowler.
