FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas will induct nine former athletes into the UA Sports Hall of Honor in September, the school’s athletic department announced Monday.
The class will be headlined by consensus All-America football players Steve Korte and Kendall Trainor, prolific rebounder Derek Hood in men’s basketball and All-America baseball outfielder Mike Loggins.
The 2015 class also features linebacker Lynn Garner, an All-Southwest Conference pick as a junior who racked up 330 career tackles; Ron Meyer, the school’s only four-time All-American in swimming and diving; track and field All-Americans Niall Bruton and DeeDee Brown-Campbell, and Robin Ford, the first female diver at Arkansas to win an NCAA title.
The nine new members were selected by a vote of former Arkansas letter winners in conjunction with the A Club.
The class will be inducted during the Hall of Honor weekend, Sept. 3-5, which includes a golf tournament at Fayetteville Country Club and an induction banquet at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Springdale. The honorees will be introduced and recognized during halftime of Arkansas’ football home opener Sept. 5 against Texas-El Paso at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
