The seven individuals and one team will be celebrated at an induction ceremony at The Gracie Theatre on the Husson University campus on Friday, Oct. 2.

“We are excited to announce the selection of the 2026 class into the Husson University Sports Hall of Fame. This prestigious honor recognizes the exceptional achievements of student-athletes who have significantly contributed to their respective sports and the university,” Husson Sports Hall of Fame Committee Chairman Bobby Campbell said.

The 2026 inductees will join an elite membership of 279 student-athletes, coaches, administrators, contributors and teams who have previously been inducted in the Husson Sports Hall of Fame since 1985.

“The Husson Sports Hall of Fame celebrates the individuals and teams whose dedication, excellence and competitive success have helped shape the proud tradition of Husson Athletics,” Executive Director of Athletics Christopher Parsons said. “This year’s class represents the very best of what it means to be an Eagle, not only because of their accomplishments on the field, court, course and track, but also because of the lasting impact they have had on our athletic department and our university.”
