Former Tennessee defensive back Eric Berry has been inducted into the Peach Bowl Hall of Fame.

Berry was a two-time unanimous First-Team All-American and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back in 2009.

He is one of three inductees, joining former Florida State and Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and Neill Cameron Jr., a former member of the game’s board of directors.

Berry played in the 2009 Peach Bowl versus Virginia Tech.

The Peach Bowl Hall of Fame was established in 2002 and Berry is the fourth inductee with ties to Tennessee: Defensive tackle Reggie White (2004), head coach Johnny Majors (2005) and head coach Phillip Fulmer (2012).
