Tom Skladany was a three time All American......
Tom Skladany was a three time first team All American while at Ohio State. He spoke at the Columbus Touchdown Club last year and laughed about receiving the honor, while only "in actio" less than 29 minutes in aggregate!
UOTE=3yardsandacloud]Here's the criteria for nomination to the CFB Hall of Fame:
The first class of College Football Hall of Fame inductees was selected in 1951. That inaugural class included 54 legends and pioneers of the game like Walter Camp, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Knute Rockne. Today more than 900 legendary players and coaches from NCAA Division I-A, I-AA, II, III and the NAIA are enshrined in the Hall.
Each player nominated must have: (1) received major first-team All-America recognition; (2) played his last intercollegiate game at least 10 years previously; (3) retired from playing professional football; and (4) proven himself worthy as a citizen after his football career, carrying the ideals of football forward into his community.
A coach becomes eligible three years after retirement, providing he: (1) was a head coach for at least 10 years; (2) coached at least 100 games; and (3) won at least 60% of his games.
EDIT: I know that Hicks, Tatum, Byers, Couisneau were All Americans. I thought Skladany was a 3 time AA, but he is not listed in the AP or Walter Camp lists ... they were not recognizing punters at the time.[/QUOTE]
