                      Tuesday, September 20, 2022

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Chuck Ealey, 
Portsmouth, Ohio native, on his induction to the United States College 
Football Hall of Fame.
  Chuck was undefeated during his time as quarterback at Notre Dame 
High School in Portsmouth. He opted to attend the University of Toledo 
and led is team to 35 straight victories from 1969 to 1971 and three 
straight Tangerine Bowl victories during that span. In his final year 
at Toledo, Chuck was named First Team All-American by Football News, 
Third Team All-American by the Associated Press, and was a finalist for 
the 1971 Heisman Trophy.
  Chuck later played in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and led his 
team to a victory in the 60th Grey Cup in the 1972 season, earning the 
Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player award along the way. His number 16 was 
retired at Toledo, and to this day, no other college quarterback has 
won 35 games in a row.
  During his time at Toledo, in the CFL, and in his business ventures 
since football, Chuck has exemplified determination and integrity, and 
shown what it truly means to be a leader of a team.
  Congratulations to Chuck and his family on his well-deserved 
induction to the United States College Football Hall of Fame Class of 
2022. I look forward to seeing where the future will take him.
