Cameron will be the 14th Bruin inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He became a member of the UCLA Atheltic Hall of Fame in 1984. 

The former 1953 All-American spent three seasons in the blue and gold from 1951 to 1953. Cameron was third in the Heisman voting in 1953 and sixth in 1952. 

He was also named a two-time MVP for UCLA and is considered the last great single-wing tailback. To this day, Paul still ranks among the Bruins' all-time Top 10 in passing and total offense. Although his time in the NFL didn't last long, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive back in 1954, he made his mark as a Bruin. 

Congratulations to Paul on this long-overdue accomplishment.
