Ken Murawski on 2021 College Football Hall of Fame Ballot

(IRVING, Texas) – The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced the names on the 2021 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. Carnegie Mellon University linebacker Ken Murawski (1982) was listed on the division ballot for consideration.

Murawski, who last fall was inducted into the inaugural Carnegie Mellon University Athletics Hall of Fame class, was a three-year starter and four-year letter winner for the Tartans from 1978 to 1981. During his four seasons, Carnegie Mellon compiled a 34-5-1 record and won three Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) titles (1978, 1979, 1981). The Tartans advanced to the NCAA Playoffs in 1978 and 1979 and recorded a 2-2 record in their back-to-back appearances. Following the 1981 season, Murawski was named a Kodak First-Team All-American and Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American. He was a two-time All-PAC selection and finished his career with 243 total tackles (159 solo stops) and nine interceptions. His 159 solo stops and 243 total tackles rank third and fifth all-time, respectively, in program history. Both were school records that he held for 22 years.

"It's an enormous honor to just be on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot considering more than 5.4 million people have played college football and only 1,027 players have been inducted," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "The Hall's requirement of being a First-Team All-American creates a much smaller pool of about 1,500 individuals who are even eligible. Being in today's elite group means an individual is truly among the greatest to have ever played the game, and we look forward to announcing the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame Class Presented by ETT early next year."

The ballot was emailed to the more than 12,000 NFF members and current Hall of Famers whose votes will be tabulated and submitted to the NFF's Honors Courts, which will deliberate and select the class.

The announcement of the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame Class Presented by ETT will be made in early 2021, with specific details to be announced in the future.

The 2021 College Football Hall of Fame Class Presented by ETT will be officially inducted during the 64th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 7, 2021, at the New York Hilton Midtown. They will also be honored at their respective schools with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, presented by Fidelity Investments, during the 2021 season.
