A few months before his induction, Metcalf took part in an on-campus salute at halftime during the Rebels’ 2025 home opener against Georgia State. Metcalf, the father of former Ole Miss and now Pittsburgh Steelers wideout D.K., led the team down its traditional Walk of Champions prior to the game before fans gave him a storming applause for his upcoming Hall enshrinement.
A consensus First Team All-American in 2001 and two-time First Team All-SEC selection as an offensive lineman, Metcalf helped lead Ole Miss to three bowl appearances (1997 Motor City, 1999 Independence, 2000 Music City Bowl) and two final national rankings (No. 22 in 1997 and No. 22 in 1999).
The Clarksdale native is the 10th Ole Miss player inducted into the Hall, joining Bruiser Kinard, Parker Hall, Charlie Conerly, Barney Poole, Charlie Flowers, Jake Gibbs, Archie Manning, Wesley Walls, and Patrick Willis. Johnny Vaught remains the only Ole Miss head coach ever inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame.
