ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ΝΕΆΣ welcomed Blue Streaks legend London Fletcher β97 home to campus on Saturday, September 28, honoring him ahead of his College Football Hall of Fame induction in December.Β
The National Football Foundation and John Carroll recognized Fletcher at halftime of the Blue Streaksβ football game against Mount Union. βThis weekend was a celebration of my accomplishments, but also a celebration for my teammates,β Fletcher said. βFootball is the ultimate team sport. You rely on others and you work in cohesion to excel. So, this is a celebration for my teammates and coaches.β
Prior to Saturdayβs recognition, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company surprised Fletcher with a ride in the Goodyear Blimp alongside his former high school and college coach Mike Moran. Moran led the John Carroll menβs basketball team for 25 years before retiring in 2017. He is in his 27th season as the head menβs golf coach at ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ΝΕΆΣ.
The pair won two Ohio state basketball championships at Villa Angela-St. Josephβs before reuniting at John Carroll.
