Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Malik Williams

TV Show/Movie Appeared: Higher Learning (1995)
Actor/Actress: Omar Epps
Played For:: Columbus Universoty
Why you should vote:: Epps is on this ballot so many times, without a strong candidate. Maybe we can throw him a bone here.
Why you should not vote:: Track is far from the focal point of this movie.
Although Track and Field was not really featured here, we thought we would add Omar Epps on the ballot (again). As Malik Williams in “Higher Learning”, Epps was the lead in an ensemble film about race issues on a university campus. Williams was a track star at the fictitious Columbus University, which allows us to place Epps on the ballot one more time. We grant that this was a very good role for Epps, but is it enough of an athletic one to merit this Hall?
