CFB: Ex-UH assistant coach Margerum among Hall inductees

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Heisman Trophy winners Tim Brown and Gino Torretta, along with two-time All-American Chris Spielman, are among the 16 players to be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.

Others selected for induction by the National Football Foundation are: Penn State's Curt Warner; New Mexico State's Pervis Atkins; Arizona's Chuck Cecil; Auburn's Ed Dyas; West Virginia's Major Harris; BYU's Gordon Hudson; Alabama's Woodrow Lowe; Stanford's Ken Margerum; Texas' Steve McMichael; Iowa's Larry Station; Georgia Tech's Pat Swilling; and Nebraska's Grant Wistrom.

Margerum, a consensus All-America wide receiver at Stanford, was an assistant football coach at Hawai'i in 1996. He currently is the wide receivers coach at San Jose State.

The NFF's veteran's committee selected Williams Lewis, who played center for Harvard from 1892-93.

Coaches John Robinson of USC and Dick MacPherson of Syracuse will also be inducted in December.
