The University of Arkansas has selected eight former Razorbacks to be inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor. Elected by former Razorback Letterwinners, a ceremony for the inductees will take place the day prior to Arkansas' historic matchup with Notre Dame on Friday, Sept. 25.

The eight athletes will represent four different sports, with both men's and women's sports included. Those being honored this season are Makeba Alcide (Women’s Track & Field), Brian Baker (Men’s Track & Field/Cross Country), Zack Cox (Baseball), the late Ryan Mallett (Football), C’eira Ricketts (Women’s Basketball), James Rouse (Football), Dwight Stewart (Men’s Basketball) and Clint Stoerner (Football).
This year's class is the 38th, dating back to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor's first in 1988. "Every year it is a privilege to induct our Razorback greats into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor, and this year is no exception,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “Our 2025 class represents individuals whose achievements, character, and legacy have forever shaped the proud tradition of Razorback Athletics. It will truly be a fantastic weekend honoring them in September.”
Perhaps the most noteworthy addition is Ryan Mallett, who is being inducted posthumously just two years after he passed away in 2023. He's arguably the most successful quarterback to set foot in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, passing for 7,493 yards and 62 touchdowns in only two years as a Razorback. After he left Arkansas, forgoing his final season of eligibility and entering the 2011 NFL Draft, Mallett was drafted in the third round by the New England Patriots.
