Former Detroit Lions defensive end Robert Porcher and ex-Michigan State running back Todd T.J. Duckett have been selected for induction into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.

The class was announced Wednesday night and will be enshrined Sept. 28.

Detroit drafted Porcher in the first round in 1992 and he had 95 ½ sacks for the franchise over 12 seasons.

Duckett, a first-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons, played football for the Spartans after being a multi-sport athlete at Kalamazoo Loy Norrix High School.

B.J. Armstrong, Daedra Charles-Furlow, Charlie Coles, Cullen Finnerty, Kate Sobrero-Markgraf and Mick McCabe will also be inducted in the 2018 class.
