Three former football players who made their marks at Triangle universities headline the 2010 class of North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame inductees.

The hall will add a total of seven new members this year, including Jim Donnan, Mike Quick and Don McCauley.

Donnan is a former North Carolina State University quarterback who went on to have a standout coaching career at the University of Georgia. Fellow Wolfpacker Quick starred as a receiver at NCSU before playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL.

McCauley played for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels. He was an All-America running back there before going on to become a pro bowler with the Baltimore Colts.

The class will be enshrined at an induction ceremony held in the North Raleigh Hilton on May 13. The hall, which was established in 1963, has 266 members. The museum is located on the third floor of the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh.

The other inductees this year are:

• Karen Shelton, whose UNC-CH field hockey teams have won seven national titles;

•Paul Simson, one of the state’s most accomplished amateur golfers with two British Amateur Senior Open championships among his victories;

• Carla Overbeck, a three-time All America soccer star at UNC-CH who now coaches at Duke University;

• Herb Appenzeller, a Wake Forest Football player in the 1940s and longtime athletic director at Guilford College.
