The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 251 to 275:

251. Larry Brooks
252. Jon Morris
253. Ed Danowski
254. Dennis Harrah
255. Jim David
256. Ken Gray
257. William “Pudge” Heffelfinger
258. Jeff Van Note
259. Troy Vincent
260. Frankie Albert
261. Charles Follis
262. NaVorro Bowman

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

A late First Round pick from Wisconsin, Travis Frederick was an immediate starter for the Dallas Cowboys when he arrived in 2013.

A late First Round pick from Wisconsin, Travis Frederick was an immediate starter for the Dallas Cowboys when he arrived in 2013.

This really should not shock us anymore, but here we are with a sudden retirement in the NFL, as Dallas Cowboy, Travis Frederick announced on social media that age 29, he is ending his pro football career.

Taken with the 31^st overall pick in 2013, Frederick came from the University of Wisconsin to start immediately at Center for Dallas. Frederick became the literal centerpiece of what became one of the most dominating offensive linemen in pro football. From 2014 to 2017, he was named to the Pro Bowl, and a First Team All-Pro Selection came his way in 2014.

He would be forced to sit out the entire 2018 season when he was diagnosed with Guillane-Barre Syndrome, but he would return in 2019, and earn his fifth and what will now be his final Pro Bowl.  

In his social media post, he referenced the disease, as a reason to re-evaluate what was important, thus leading to what is considered to be a shocking retirement.

Prior to the 2019 season, Frederick was ranked #60 on our pre-season list of those worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.  Frederick will be Hall of Fame eligible in 2025, but it is unlikely that he will make the cut.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Travis Frederick the best in his post-playing career.
