    Contact: Lina Taylor Work: 855-JoeMoore (855-563-6667) [email protected] AARON TAYLOR NOMINATED FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME Lombardi Award Winner Excels On and Off Field IRVING, Texas – June 9, 2016 — The National Football Foundation (NFF) has nominated Aaron Taylor, founder of the Joe Moore Award and current college football analyst with CBS Sports, for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. Taylor is one of 75 Football Bowl Subdivision candidates, of which only 9 are offensive linemen, nominated for the 2017 Class. As a senior offensive tackle at Notre Dame in 1993, Taylor was the winner of the Lombardi Award, earned a unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1993 and was one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy. He also received Notre Dame Lineman of the Year Award from Moose Krause Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame and was voted by teammates as recipient of the Nick Pietrosante Award, given to the player who best exemplifies the courage, dedication and pride of the late All-American fullback. After starting 30 games straight to end his college career and earning his bachelor’s degree in sociology, Taylor was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of 1994 NFL draft and started on the team that won the Super Bowl in 1997. “Based on his superior play on the field, there is no doubt that Aaron is a legitimate candidate for the Hall of Fame,” said Tim Brown, the 1987 Heisman winner from Notre Dame who was elected to the Hall in 2009.
