Cam Newton and Takeo Spikes were not selected for the College Football Hall of Fame from the 2026 ballot. It remains uncertain whether they or other former Auburn players, such as Gregg Carr, will be included on the 2027 ballot. The National Football Foundation will soon announce the new nominees for the upcoming year.
The exact number of Auburn players currently eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame is not specified, but eligibility typically includes players who have been out of college for at least 10 years and have demonstrated outstanding performance. Final selection depends on nomination and voting by the National Football Foundation.
