MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL REPORT

Hello All and welcome to 2026 Nominations of the

Minor League Football Report Hall of Fame!!!

As Commissioner, my mission statement is as followed:

To change the culture and core values that have shaped what being a Hall of Famer is. The goals are set with the vision to mirror and symbolize ultimate excellence as in the N.F.L. Hall of Fame.  This is to be about a sustainable legacy. We are to protect the integrity and honor of the shield that stands before us to display and represent who and what we are… Hall of Famers. Represent as Ambassadors of the game. Furthermore, our code of conduct is to be prestigious and gracious simply because we are the highest standard for Minor League and Semi- Professional Football.

 On this page you will be provided the prerequisites to determine if you fit the criteria to be considered for this year’s class of 2026 inductees.

Let me be crystal clear on several items at this juncture:

INDIVIDUAL OR SELF NOMINATIONS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED.

If your nominee(s) does not meet the below criteria, they will be rejected without notification. Failure to respect this process, will only make the selection process easier. 

Being “Nominated” DOES NOT constitute that you are automatically a Hall of Famer as you will go through a fair, unbiased, and honorable selection process with my Directors, outside Consultants, and my lastly myself in determining this year’s and  future Minor League Football Report Hall of Fame Inductees.

The selected inductees will receive a congratulatory letter from myself and the next steps to completing this well-deserved award and honor. For those not selected, you will be contacted via email and provided an opportunity to reapply for the following year(s).

*****Nominees you are to create your bio and your representative is to submit on your behalf. Please include your email and contact information in your bio. REMINDER the Deadline for receipt is June 1, 2026, 11:59pm. Anything past that will be subject to dismissal.****

Lastly, ALL selected inductees, it is MANDATORY that you attend and participate in the MLFR Hall of Fame Induction Banquet and Ceremony to complete your induction. Failure to attend, you will be granted one (1) year to complete your induction by only be allowed to attend the following year. Should you not comply with this, your induction and Hall of Fame stature will be rescinded (withdrawn) and at which point, you will have to reclassify the years following.

On behalf of all of us with the Minor League Football Report Hall of Fame and members, we are excited to review and select the newest members for THE CLASS of 2026.

Best Regards, 

Kory D. Parham
