The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 60 Class of 2024 semifinalists in the Seniors and Coaches/Contributors categories on Wednesday.
The Hall's 12-person Seniors Committee named 31 semifinalists from the field of nominees, advancing them to the next stage of the election process.
Separately, the Hall's 12-person Coach/Contributor Committee selected 29 semifinalists from the nominated candidates to advance.
While the Hall's selection bylaws say 25 semifinalists can be named in each category,
the Committees are allowed to advance additional candidates in the case of a tie for the 25th position, which occurred in both categories this year.
Each committee will now separately consider the semifinalist candidates and vote to advance 12 Seniors and 12 Coach/Contributors through to the next round of the election process, the finalists stage.
The results of these votes will be revealed July 27.
