Michael Strahan Joins College Football Hall of Fame, Calls for Earlier HBCU Recognition

On GMA, he used the honor to urge earlier recognition for athletes from HBCUs.

Overview

  • Strahan was inducted in 2025 and did not attend the Las Vegas ceremony, with Texas Southern coach Cris Dishman accepting on his behalf.
  • He became the first Texas Southern alumnus to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.
  • During the on-air celebration, Strahan said he hopes players from HBCUs receive national acknowledgment sooner.
  • He joked about a possible NFL return after demonstrating old moves, a lighthearted moment his GMA co-hosts quickly teased as playful.
  • Strahan’s case for overdue recognition is rooted in a dominant TSU career, a 15-season Giants run as the franchise’s sack leader, and prior Black College Football Hall of Fame induction in 2014.
