DENVER—Former Colorado State football coach Sonny Lubick and recently retired Denver Broncos receiver Rod Smith are among the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame’s six-person class.
The selection committee on Monday also elected:
—Former Colorado Rockies chairman Jerry McMorris,

Lubick coached the Rams from 1993-2007, compiling a 108-74 record and leading the program to nine bowl berths and six conference championships.
Smith set several NFL receiving records for an undrafted player and was forced into retirement by a bad hip last summer, retiring with team records for career receptions, yards receiving, touchdown catches and total touchdowns.
