Tommy Tuberville is a U.S. senator. But next year, he could be a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

The National Football Foundation released its ballot on Monday for the College Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024, and the former Ole Miss and Auburn coach is among the nine coaches on the NCAA FBS portion of the ballot.

The NCAA FBS player portion of the ballot features 11 former SEC stars among the 78 nominees, including Gregg Carr, Ed King and Takeo Spikes from Auburn and Antonio Langham from Alabama.

Also on the ballot are Florida’s Brad Culpepper, Georgia’s Garrison Hearst, Kentucky’s Tim Couch, LSU’s Bradie James, Ole Miss’ Michael Oher and Tennessee’s Willie Gault and Larry Seivers.

Tuberville compiled a 159-99 record in 21 seasons as a head coach, including 14 in the SEC.

At his first stop as a head coach, Tuberville went 25-20 at Ole Miss from 1995 through 1998. He moved to Auburn in 1999 and guided the Tigers to an 85-40 record over the next 10 seasons.

Auburn went 13-0 under Tuberville in 2004, including a 38-28 victory over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game.

Tuberville finished his coaching career with three seasons at Texas Tech and four at Cincinnati.
