The class of 2020 has been announced for the College Football Hall of Fame and two former members of the Kansas City Chiefs can be found.

The College Football Hall of Fame, located in Atlanta, Georgia, has a brand new list of entrants to celebrate this year with the announced class of 2020. With a total of 17 college football legends, there are a lot of figures to commemorate, including two former members of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both Glenn Dorsey and Leslie O’Neal are among the players and coaches selected to be immortalized later this year. First, each respective school of the player will have a special ceremony in the fall to recognize the player’s accomplishments. Then on December 8, the 63rd NFF Annual Awards Dinner will be held to officially induct each player and coach. From there, they will be represented in the CFB Hall of Fame.

Dorsey was an absolute beast at LSU and earned every conceivable accolade during his tenure with the Tigers. He was the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-American in 2007. That same year, he was given the Nagurski Award, the Lombardi Award, the Outland Trophy, and the Lott Award.

Dorsey came to the Chiefs as a heralded draft pick at No. 5 overall in the 2008 NFL Draft and would go on to play five seasons in K.C. He would sign with the San Francisco 49ers after that and played another four years in the Bay Area. He had 321 tackles in 104 total games in his 9-year NFL career.

As for O’Neal, most of the league will remember him best from his days as a San Diego Charger, but he played for the Chiefs for the last two years of his career. In ’98 and ’99, O’Neal put up 10 sacks in 32 games with the Chiefs to cap a career marked by six Pro Bowls and three All-Pro nods. O’Neal retired as the Bolts all-time sack leader.

Here’s the full list of the class of 2020.
