WSU Legends Vie for 2027 Hall of Fame

Three Washington State legends—Mike Leach, Ryan Leaf, and Jackie Sherrill—are on the 2027 College Football Hall of Fame ballot, joining 80 elite players and nine coaches. Leach revolutionized WSU with the Air Raid, leading five straight bowl wins and earning Coach of the Year honors. Leaf dazzled in 1997, shattering records, winning the Pac-10, and finishing third in Heisman voting. Sherrill, though brief at WSU, went on to Pittsburgh’s five-bowl streak and National Coach of the Year honors. Voting closes July 1, 2026—with the 2027 class announced early next year.
