...here's the Bentley Historical Library's list.  Desmond is indeed, the 35th Wolverine College Football Hall of Famer, but he's the 30th player in the Hall. 

One caveat.  As they note, William Morley "...played one year at Michigan, then played for Columbia 1899-1901, earning All-American honors as a halfback in 1900 and 1901."

Does anybody know the first year he is elgible? I doubt he will have to wait long considering he is the only defensive player ever to win the Heisman.
