As we mentioned earlier this week, tight end isn’t always the most glamorous position. But there are a few names here that you’ll remember -- and one that has a bit of an echo to it. All of these players had an impact on their team’s fortunes that goes beyond that originally associated with their position.

The SB Nation College Football Hall of Fame is a summer project involving all of the network’s excellent college football blogs. Each community could nominate five of its own for inclusion, with 10 of those nominees being inducted by our selection committee, which included reps from most FBS conferences. The remaining 10 will be chosen by public vote Wednesday and Thursday.
