Hall of Fame

A lasting legacy

The Sun Devil Athletics Sports Hall of Fame isn't just a list of names. It's a legacy, a tradition of student-athletes who give everything to wear the maroon and gold.

Since 1975, we’ve honored those who dared to chase greatness, the student-athletes whose relentless drive, unmatched discipline, and fierce Sun Devil pride set them apart. These are not just former players. They are champions, leaders and legends.

Selected by a dedicated committee of university leaders, athletic staff, and those who’ve lived the Sun Devil journey, each inductee embodies the highest standard of excellence. All-Americans. NCAA champions. Olympic medalists. Record breakers. Graduates who raise trophies and raise the bar.

To be enshrined, you must have done more than compete. You must inspire. Lead. Leave the program better than you found it. Ten years after your final game, if your name still echoes in the halls and hearts of ASU, then you belong here.

This is where hard work becomes history. This is the Sun Devil Sports Hall of Fame.
