The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Football Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that Virginia Tech legend Michael Vick is one of 22 new inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame. The class of 2025 includes 18 first-team All-America players and four coaches.
Vick was selected as a First Team All-American in 1999 as a redshirt freshman, making him the first Tech freshman to ever achieve the honor. Playing for Hall of Fame coach Frank Beamer and with Hall of Fame teammate Corey Moore anchoring the defense, Vick helped guide Tech to the school's first ever 11-0 regular season in 1999 and its first appearance in a national championship game, the Sugar Bowl against Florida State.
"Michael revolutionized the quarterback position with his combination of speed, accuracy, and big, strong arm," said Beamer, a 2018 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. "He inspired a new generation of dual-threat quarterbacks. No one did more than he did to put the Virginia Tech program on the national stage. I am grateful for the opportunity to coach him and thrilled he is being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame."
