AMES, Iowa -Â Iowa State fans exuded unparalleled excitement when news broke that Troy Davis was chosen as a 2016 inductee for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Davis' honor is the pinnacle of college football. To prove the difficulty of joining this prestigious club, the two-time Heisman Trophy finalist is just one of two Cyclone players in the Hall of Fame.
Iowa State defensive tackle Jamahl Johnson, who just finished his freshman season in 2016, understands the significance of the College Football Hall of Fame. His grandfather, Willie Jeffries, was a 2010 inductee into the CFB Hall of Fame as a coach.
Jeffries' legacy is an important piece of his family genealogy.
