Former South Carolina Gamecocks and Green Bay Packers star Sterling Sharpe has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A dominant receiver who earned Heisman votes in college, Sharpe’s impact on the game is finally being recognized.

Sharpe has always been honored at South Carolina. One of the greatest wide receivers in Gamecock history, he finished his USC career in 1987 as the school’s all-time leading receiver after catching 169 balls for nearly 2,500 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Sterling Sharpe added to his legacy on Thursday when he became the first Gamecock elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He will be inducted in August.
