ESPN analyst headlines Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2024 class of inductees

ESPN NFL analyst Harry Douglas will headline the 2024 Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame class inducted in June.

Douglas, who played wide receiver at Louisville, will be joined in the class by former DuPont Manual defensive lineman Fred Lee Davis, former Kentucky defensive back Maurice Douglass, former Western Kentucky tight end Jack Doyle and former Madison Southern tight end Luke Stocker.

Douglas was a second-team All-American at Louisville in 2007 who went on to spend 10 years in the NFL. He spent seven seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and three with the Tennessee Titans. He now works as an analyst for ESPN and ESPN Radio.

Davis, who died in 1995, was named to two Pro Bowls and won two NFL championships in a nine-season NFL career after playing college football at Alabama. Douglass played 11 seasons in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and New York Giants. Doyle spent nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts after going undrafted, reaching two Pro Bowls. Stocker spent 11 seasons in the NFL after playing at Tennessee.

The group will be inducted on June 28 in Lexington.

The Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame will also honor Art Lee Shell, the first Black head coach in the NFL’s modern era, with the Blanton Collier Award for Integrity On and Off the Field. UK linebacker J.J. Weaver and the Letcher County High School football team will receive the Ron Butler Award for Character in Adversity. Paris High School’s Tyquan Rice was named high school coach of the year.

Harry Douglas was a two-time All-Big East selection at Louisville before going on to a 10-year NFL career.
