Three-time national champion head coach Urban Meyer is getting a rather significant honor.
On Wednesday afternoon, the National Football Foundation announced that Urban Meyer will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2025.
Meyer, of course, is a three-time national champion, winning titles with the Florida Gators following the 2006 and 2008 seasons as well as with the Ohio State Buckeyes following the 2014 season. He also led Utah to an undefeated season in 2004 and led Ohio State to an undefeated 12-0 season in 2012 when they were not eligible for the postseason.

Across his 17 total seasons as an FBS head coach at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State, Meyer finished his career with a winning percentage of .854 – the third-highest FBS winning percentage ever. He also has the best winning percentage in FBS since World War II.
Needless to say, this is a pretty significant and well-deserved honor for Meyer, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
“Congrats, Coach, on your well-deserved induction into the HOF! Your leadership and legacy at Ohio State brought unforgettable moments and glory to Ohio State. You’re a Buckeye forever, and we’ll always be grateful for everything you’ve done for us. Buckeye nation is proud,” one fan wrote on X.
“Congrats to the GOAT himself,” another fan added.
“Legend. Well deserved,” someone else said.
“Absolute legend,” another person added.
“Congrats coach! Well deserved!” another person said.
Meyer is retired from coaching and currently serves as an analyst for Fox Sports.
