The Arkansas Razorbacks 2026 Hall of Honor Class has been announced, and it features some of the most beloved Razorback athletes of their respective eras.
As Hogs fans patiently await the 2026-27 athletic year, this year's Hall of Honor class is a great way to pay respect to several figures who helped shape Arkansas athletics. From future NFL great Jason Peters to basketball standout Ronnie Brewer Jr., the 2026 class is loaded with familiar names.
2026 Arkansas Hall of Honor features loaded class
Altogether, the University of Arkansas inducted eight individuals into the Hall of Honor, including: Ronnie Brewer Jr. (men's basketball), Tony Bua (football), Brett Eibner (baseball), Dave England (athletic trainer), Jason Peters (football), Heather Schlichtman Scharf (softball), Bud Still (men's golf), and Tina Sutej (women's track and field).
Ronnie Brewer Jr. is a familiar face to Razorback basketball fans, having served in various capacities for the team's staff since joining the program as a recruiting coordinator in 2021. During his playing career for the Razorbacks, Brewer was a force to be reckoned with, earning All-American honors in 2006 before being taken with the 14th pick in the NBA Draft. His playing career alone more than warranted his inclusion in the Hall of Honor, so considering his recruiting contributions to the program over the past five years, he was an easy choice for this year's class.
Tony Bua is another fan-favorite Hog from the 2026 Hall of Honor class. The former Razorback earned All-SEC honors in 2001, 2002, and 2003 for the Arkansas football team, ending his four-year career for the team with three straight 100-tackle seasons as a free safety and linebacker. Bua broke the Arkansas career tackles record previously held by safety Ken Hamlin during his time on the Hill, and he is still No. 2 all-time for the program. His professional career included stints with the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, and Miami Dolphins.
As the sole baseball inductee, Brett Eibner is one of the most unique players to take the mound in the history of Razorback baseball. The 2026 Hall of Honor inductee was a consistent presence for the Arkansas baseball team from 2008-2010 -- both on the mound and in the batter's box. Across 43 appearances as a pitcher for the Hogs (154.0 IP), Eibner went 11-11 with a 4.68 ERA; as a batter, he was even more prolific. In his career, Eibner sent 42 home runs over the fence for the Razorbacks, which is still good for third all-time in program history.
Dave England is the sole member of Arkansas' 2026 Hall of Honor class who was not a student-athlete for the Hogs. From 1984 to 2019, Dave England worked alongside the Arkansas Razorback basketball team, earning a promotion to the role of Head Athletic Trainer for the squad in 1989. During his time with the program, the Razorback basketball team made 19 NCAA tournament appearances, including the Hogs' national championship run in 1994. Since 2019, England has served as the Director of Sports Medicine for the University of Arkansas.
Of the Arkansas athletes being inducted into the 2026 Hall of Honor class, arguably none had a better career as a pro than Jason Peters. Today, Peters is best-known for his incredible 21-year NFL career, but before making it to the league, the future NFL Hall of Famer had a fairly nontraditional four years with the Arkansas Razorbacks. After initially signing with the team as a defensive tackle, Jason Peters would move to the tight end position, where the jumbo TE would eventually earn Second-Team All-SEC honors after his junior season in 2003. Though Peters went undrafted in 2004, he remains one of the most decorated pro Hogs in the program's history.
Heather Schlichtman Scharf is Arkansas' only softball player to be inducted into the 2026 Hall of Honor class. In her four years at the University of Arkansas (2001-2004), Scharf tallied 73 wins, 94 complete games, 26 shutouts, 930.2 innings pitched, and faced 3,799 batters, all of which are good for second all-time in the program. Even more impressively, Heather Schlichtman Scharf still holds the school record for strikeouts (886), career ERA (1.59), and single-season ERA (0.93), making her addition to the Hall of Honor one of the clearest-cut decisions from this year's class.
A four-time All-American, Bud Still is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of Arkansas Razorbacks athletics. From 1993-1996, Still earned a long list of accolades for the Razorback men's golf team, including SEC Freshman of the Year (1993), SEC Golfer of the Year (1994), and SEC Champion (1995), and his 72.88 career average was the school record at the time of his departure and remains 14th in program history.
Rounding out Arkansas' 2026 Hall of Honor class is Tina Sutej, one of the greatest pole vaulters in Razorback history. Sutej was a two-time national champion in the indoor pole vault, winning NCAA titles in 2011 and 2012, while also earning silver medals in the NCAA outdoor pole vault in 2010 and 2011. Altogether, she finished her Arkansas career with five All-America honors, as well as SEC Indoor Field Athlete of the Year honors in both 2011 and 2012 and the SEC Field Athlete of the Year recognition during the 2011 outdoor season.
