The UCA Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2001 to pay tribute to the many great student-athletes, coaches, administrators and others who have been instrumental in building the rich, championship tradition at the University of Central Arkansas for over a century.Â
Through 17 classes, the UCA Sports Hall of Fame features 158 members – many of whom are members of other Halls of Fame, including the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, Washington Redskins Ring of Fame, and more.
To view the full list of honorees, visit the interactive
UCA Sports Hall of Fame online – also available for viewing inside the Hall of Fame room inside Estes Stadium.
Each year, inductees are honored on Hall of Fame weekend surrounding a Central Arkansas home football game, with an induction banquet on the day of the game and a recognition ceremony at halftime.
To be eligible for UCA Sports Hall of Fame consideration, nominees must be at least 12 years removed from their initial enrollment date at UCA; must have competed or worked at UCA a minimum of two years; and must have good character and reputation while at UCA and beyond. The nomination process for the UCA Sports Hall of Fame is open to the public. All of the nominees, who will remain as nominees for the duration of the organization, are then presented to the Hall of Fame Committee for voting. The top vote getters each year are confirmed by the UCA director of athletics and the UCA president and then notified of their inclusion in the UCA Sports Hall of Fame by the director of athletics. To nominate an individual for the UCA Sports Hall of Fame, use one of the two nomination form options below:
