Dishonored Ex-USC Trojan Receives CFB HOF Nomination

From zero to hero? Former USC RB Reggie Bush receives major honor.

It was announced Wednesday that former USC running back Reggie Bush has been named one the newest nominees for the College Football Hall of Fame.

The ballot was emailed Wednesday to the more than 12,000 National Football Foundation members and current Hall of Famers. The inductees for the class will be announced in early 2022.

USC Running Back Reggie Bush 

The dynamic running back helped lead the Trojans to two national championships. He also became a two-time first-team All-American and a Heisman Trophy winner back in 2005. 

Bush was asked to return the award in 2010 after several scandals came to light. Bush became disassociated from USC for 10-years after it was revealed that he and his family accepted cash, travel expenses and a home in the San Diego area while he was a student-athlete.

USC proudly welcomed back Reggie Bush into the Trojan family in 2020 and now the former Heisman winner has earned a nomination for the CFB Hall of Fame.

According to FootballFoundation.org, there are a total of 78 players and seven coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision on the ballot. There are also 99 players and 33 coaches from the divisional ranks eligible for the 2022 class.
