A 10-member Selection Committee comprised of faculty, staff, alumni and community members selected the 2025 inductees from a large group of initial nominees. The 10 individuals will become the newest members of a current Bulldog Athletics Hall of Fame member group that presently includes 115 previous inductees along with one team.
"We're extremly thrilled to announce this year's class of inductees, which is a truly exceptional group," said FSU Athletics Director Steve Brockelbank. "This class includes many of the school's all-time greats and is an outstanding group that has achieved at the highest level. They are very deserving of the recognition and we look forward to honoring these talented individuals this fall."
This year's Hall of Fame event will take place the night prior to the Bulldogs' 2025 football home opener against Pittsburg State, which takes place on Thursday, Aug. 28, at Top Taggart Field.
The Bulldog Athletics Hall of Fame, which inducted its Charter Class in 2000, was established to honor those student-athletes and coaches who have distinguished themselves in their sport or honorary members who made truly exceptional contributions to athletics.
