Morgantown, WV – West Virginia native Nick Saban is a college football legend. There are no doubts about that.
Saban had a storied career that saw him compile a record of 292-71-1 and 7 national championships. It has been the expectation that he will find his way into the College Football Hall of Fame, sooner rather than later.
Well, it appears that moment is coming very soon.
This evening on ESPN’s College Gameday, it was officially announced that Saban has been announced as the first member of the 2025 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
Pat McAfee shared the clip of the moment via X.
Congratulations Coach Saban 🤝
