For many who play at the college level, the ultimate goal is to play in the NFL.

Only a small fraction do so, and even fewer are honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Here is an updated list of the 77 players and coaches from the West who have achieved that distinction, with their respective schools and years inducted.

Two players added in the Class of 2025, Arizona State’s Eric Allen and Idaho State’s Jared Allen.

USC has landed the most in the Hall of Fame with 14, followed by ASU, Oregon, and UCLA, all with six. San Franciso has five and Stanford and Washington both have four.

Located in Canton, Ohio, the Hall opened on September 7, 1963, and includes players, coaches, officials, franchise owners, and front-office personnel.

Many of them made their primary contributions to the game in the National Football League (NFL).

After the four players are officially inducted on August 2nd, for the Class of 2025, there will be a total of 382 members. Typically, between four and nine new inductees are enshrined every year.

The table below is searchable and sortable by the players and coaches, their school, and their year inducted. You’ll also find a breakdown of individuals by program at the bottom.
