Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB.  Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.  This will eventually extend to college sports.  As such, it is important to us that Florida State has announced its 2026 Hall of Fame Class.

The 2026 inductees are:
