Former Mount Union quarterback Jim Ballard has been named to the 2008 College Football Divisional Hall of Fame class. The 2008 class will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame during the Enshrinement Festival, July 18-19, in South Bend, Ind.

Ballard, a two-time First-Team All-America pick in 1992 and '93, broke 17 Division III records and threw for 8,270 yards and 93 touchdowns. He won the first Gagliardi Trophy in 1993.

The Ohio native played in the NFL, Canadian Football League and the Arena Football League during his 10-year professional career and led the Scottish Claymores to an NFL Europe World Bowl title in 1996.

Inducted into the Scottish Claymores Hall of Fame in 2001, Ballard currently serves as the commissioner of the Continental Indoor Football League in North Canton, Ohio.

Brad Rowland, who played for McMurry before the school became Division III, was also inducted. He was the Indians' all-time leading rusher and still stands atop the McMurry charts with 4,347 rushing yards. He helped McMurry to three consecutive conference titles from 1947-1949.
