Marvin Jones officially is FSU’s 10th member of College Football HOF
Jones, a three-time All-American for FSU from 1990-92 before an 11-year career in the NFL, was formally announced as a 2022 inductee on Monday afternoon.
In three seasons, Jones finished with 369 tackles, a mark that still sits seventh in program history. The Coconut Grove, Fla., native tallied 133 tackles as a freshman, 125 as a sophomore and 111 as a junior.
The top defensive player in the nation in 1992, he was named the Sporting News Defensive Player of the Year, won the Butkus Award as top linebacker and won the Lombardi Award for linemen and linebackers. Jones also took home the Jack Lambert Trophy from the Touchdown Club of Columbus, was a unanimous All-American and finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting, the highest finish for any Seminole defender.
Jones will be the 10th Seminole inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, joining former teammates Charlie Ward (inducted in 2006), Derrick Brooks (2016) and Terrell Buckley (2019) as well as head coach Bobby Bowden (2006). Ron Sellers (1988), Fred Biletnikoff (1991), head coach Darrell Mudra (2000), Ron Simmons (2009) and Deion Sanders (2011) are also enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
