From San Diego State, La’Roi Glover took a longer path to NFL stardom. He was a 5th-round pick in the Oakland Raiders draft, but they cut him a year later, and the New Orleans Saints picked him up. In New Orleans, he became a star, and in 2000 he would be named a First Team All-Pro, NFL Alumni Defensive Lineman of the Year, and the NFC Defensive Player of the Year. The ferocious pass-rusher had 17.5 Sacks would also lead the league.
Glover began a six-year Pro Bowl run that extended into his time with the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he signed in 2002. Glover would be named to the Second Team All-2000s roster. He retired with 83.5 Sacks over his career.

Not in Hall of Fame News
This week, the San Diego State University Aztecs announced their latest Hall of Fame class adding five new members from the world of Basketball, Football and Track & Field.
The biggest name of the group is Kawhi Leonard, the star player for the San Antonio Spurs who professionally has won the Defensive Player of the Year twice and a NBA Championship Ring. As an Aztec, Leonard was a two time First Team Mountain West Conference Selection and averaged 14.1 Points and 10.2 Rebounds per Game over two seasons. He would be drafted 15th overall in 2011.
The Aztec Football Team gave two inductees this year in Quarterback, Leon Parma (1948-50) and Kicker/Punter Noel Prefontaine (1994-97). Prefontaine would go on to have a successful career in the Canadian Football League where he would be named a CFL All-Star six times.
The final two inductees come from Track & Field where hurdler Miesha McKelvy-Jones and sprinter, Steve Williams were chosen. McKelvy-Jones was the 1998 MAC Champion and in 2003 won the Bronze Medal in the World Championships. Williams competed for San Diego State from 1973 to 1974 and still holds the school record in both the 100m and 200m Dash.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this class of athletes.
