Why is he not eligible?

They almost certainly belong on that list. It's just that so few of us saw them play.

Supposedly you are eligible only if you are a first-team All-American, which Ealey wasn't. Then as now, it would've been extremely difficult for a MAC quarterback to be a first-teamer. Lynch, as you recall, was first-team "Allo-Purpose" player, not a first-team QB.


Chuck Ealey:
1971-
1rst Team All-American (Football News)
2nd Team All-American (UPI}
3rd Team All-American(AP)
8th in Heisman Award
3 time MAC Back of the Year

from http://www.footballfoundation.org/Progra...fFame.aspx

Hall of Fame Criteria:

FIRST AND FOREMOST, A PLAYER MUST HAVE RECEIVED FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICA RECOGNITION BY A SELECTOR RECOGNIZED BY THE NCAA AND UTILIZED TO COMPRISE THEIR CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICA TEAMS.

Doesn't say which are "recognized." Confusing.

Ealey opened up the door for UT's Gene Swick 1975 UPI First Team All-American QB and Sammy Baugh Award Winner. The only MAC QB to be named First Team All-American.
