Rashad among 20 being enshrined in college hall

Ahmad Rashad, who starred at Oregon during 1969-71 when he was known as Bobby Moore, will allow himself some time to look back on his football career when he is enshrined into the College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night at South Bend, Ind., along with Penn State coach Joe Paterno, 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie of Boston College, and 17 others.

“I’m still looking forward, but at least I get a chance to slow down and enjoy the memories of my college football career,” Rashad said.

Rashad is among 20 players who will be enshrined, along with Mount Union quarterback Jim Ballard, Oklahoma center Tom Brahaney, Michigan defensive back Dave Brown, Clemson linebacker Jeff Davis, Texas defensive back Johnnie Johnson, Ohio State quarterback Rex Kern, North Alabama linebacker Ronald McKinnon, Texas A&I defensive end John Randle, McMurry halfback Brad Rowland, Indiana running back Anthony Thompson, Houston defensive tackle Wilson Whitley, Dartmouth linebacker Reggie Williams, Southern California linebacker Richard Wood and Notre Dame defensive end Chris Zorich.

Along with Paterno, the coaches being enshrined are Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi, Jackson State coach W.C. Gorden and Doug Porter, who coached at Mississippi Valley State, Howard and Fort Valley State.
