Former USC receiver Keyshawn Johnson, Virgil "Virg" Lubberden and Chuck Ortmann will be inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame on Dec. 31 during a ceremony at the Rose Bowl Game Kickoff Luncheon.
Johnson, a two-time All-American, was the MVP of the 1996 Rose Bowl. In USC's 41-32 win over Northwestern, he caught 12 passes for 216 yards, which still stands as a Rose Bowl record.
Chuck Ortmann led the Michigan Wolverines to a 1951 Rose Bowl Game victory over California, 14-6.
Virgil Lubberden, a long-time athletic administrator at USC, worked with the Rose Bowl for nearly a half-century. He became first permanent Game Manager in 1972, and he served in that capacity until his retirement in 1985.
Over the past 20 years, a total of 92 inductees have been added to the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. They are honored by a permanent plaque with their name and year of induction at The Court of Champions at the Rose Bowl Stadium.
