MIAMI – Former University of Notre Dame defensive tackle Chris Zorich was one of three players selected to the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame, the Orange Bowl Committee announced Tuesday.

Joining Zorich as a 2009 inductee were former Clemson linebacker Jeff Davis and former Florida State quarterback Charlie Ward.

Zorich played in the 1990 and 1991 Orange Bowls and was named the defensive most valuable player in the 1991 Orange Bowl, his final collegiate game.

The Irish played Colorado both years, knocking off the Buffaloes, 21-6, in 1990 but losing to Colorado, 10-9, in 1991.

Zorich tallied four tackles in the 1990 Orange Bowl as the fourth-ranked Irish held the top-ranked Buffaloes 28 points below their season scoring average.

In the 1991 Orange Bowl, Zorich recorded 10 tackles including eight solo stops, two tackles for loss and one sack to earn defensive MVP honors.

After beginning his collegiate career as a linebacker, Zorich was moved to nose tackle early in his freshman year.
