Buckeyes Nation Erupts in Jubilation: Legendary Coach Urban Meyer to be Inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

 

Buckeye Nation is celebrating in grand fashion as former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has been announced as a 2025 inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame. The news sent waves of jubilation across Columbus and throughout the college football world, as fans, players, and colleagues honor the legacy of one of the most accomplished coaches in modern history.

 

Meyer, who led the Buckeyes from 2012 to 2018, etched his name into Ohio State lore by compiling an incredible 83–9 record, including an undefeated 12–0 debut season and a national championship in 2014. That title run marked the first ever in the College Football Playoff era and cemented Meyer’s status among the elite. Under his leadership, the Buckeyes consistently dominated the Big Ten and cultivated a culture of discipline, intensity, and excellence.

 

Beyond Ohio State, Meyer’s coaching résumé includes successful stints at Bowling Green, Utah, and most notably, the University of Florida, where he won two national titles. His career record of 187–32 stands as a testament to his tactical genius, leadership, and ability to develop top-tier talent.

 

The Hall of Fame recognition is a crowning achievement for a coach who not only brought championships to his programs but also inspired a generation of players and fans. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith called the honor “long overdue,” adding that Meyer’s impact “goes far beyond wins and losses.”

 

As fans gather to celebrate this milestone, the consensus is clear: Urban Meyer’s induction is not just a personal accolade, but a shared victory for Buckeye Nation. His legacy as one of the greatest coaches in Ohio State and college football history is now etched in immortality.
