Dear DJO Hall of Fame,
Today we formally nominate Mark Foley to become a member of
the next class to be inducted to the Hall.
There is no doubt in my mind that Mark is worthy of being admitted
simply on his stats as one of the hardest hitting most tenacious linebackers ever
to set foot in DJO. Notice how I left
out "for his size?"
Yes, that's correct, he was one of the best to play the linebacker
at DJO and unquestionably pound for pound the best football player we have ever
known. This is our main point why Mark deserves this honor. He played bigger than he was. There
was not a single game that he did not take on blockers that were sometimes twice
his size and he was good enough that opposing coaches often made him the
subject of double teams.
athlete.
He trained his body in a way that he squeezed every drop of
talent into his game.
He studied film and tendencies of our opponents which gave
him have an uncanny ability to be around the ball at all times.
He did it all with class. He was hell on our opponents AND
he respected every person who had the guts to line up against him
Most importantly he inspired his teammates to become better.
It is this simple; if every player at DJO had Mark's work
ethic and passion for the game we would have never lost…
Don't believe me? Have a look at all the people who do:

The DJO Hall of Fame committee can no longer ignore this groundswell of support for Mark. It is time they stop dragging their feet and finally give him the recognition he earned on the field.

Mrs. A remembers Mark with love, and especially to his dear parents for raising an outstanding son.
Jason, thanks for making the nomination. Prayers and love to Mark's family. What a wonderful way to honor him.
Mark made everyone he played with better. No doubt he deserves to be in the DJO hall of fame.
Mark Foley was a fierce competitor and played with heart. And he took great pride in delivering the hits which scarred his football helmet. I am glad he was on my team. Mark deserves this honor.
Practicing against Mark made us all better for sure. He had more heart and drive than most which made him who he was. A rock solid fundemental football player who knew the game in any situation. Glad to have had him on our team. Thanks Jason, great idea!
RIP Mark

He deserves to be in The Hall! His work ethic to play the game was second to none. I always admired his strength, his heart and his desire to play the game. He had an outstanding father, leader, and coach- Flyod Foley- that molded him to one hell of a football player but an even better man! Knights on 3!
