IRVING, Texas -- Former Massachusetts football running back Rene Ingoglia has been named to the 2025 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame as a 2025 Divisional Player candidate, the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced on Monday (June 3).
Ingoglia finished his collegiate career as one of the top running backs in school history and was a two-time All-America selection (1994 and 1995) and he was also a three-time All-Yankee Conference selection. Ingoglia became the school and Yankee Conference's all-time leading career rusher with 4,623 yards after he ran for 656 yards during his rookie year, 1,284 yards as a sophomore, 1,505 yards as a junior and 1,178 yards as a senior.
Ingoglia closed out four years of dominance with 10 program records and a pair of the Yankee Conference's top statistical marks. He was the first UMass player in history to average more than 100 yards per game rushing over a career (112.8), posted 21 career 100-plus yard games, three career 200-plus yard performances and outrushed the entire opposing team 18 times in his career.
Following his college career, Ingoglia played parts of three NFL seasons (1996-98) with the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Redskins. He then competed for the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe in 1999, where he helped the team to the World Bowl Championship.
A Massachusetts Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Ingoglia continues to work as a color analyst for ESPN.
The 2025 ballot includes 77 players and nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 101 players and 34 coaches from the divisional ranks.
