Athletics Hall of Fame

The 90 individuals listed below represent Wake Forest University's Sports Hall of Fame, established in 1970 with the induction of former Basketball Coach Murray Greason, late Football star Brian Piccolo, former Football Coach Peahead Walker, and former director of athletics Jim Weaver, who later became the first commissioner of the ACC.

The Hall of Fame Committee, which meets annually to determine worthy candidates for induction, consists of director of athletics Ron Wellman, senior associate athletic director/senior woman administrator Barbara Walker, faculty athletic chair (and committe chair) Dr. Ed Wilson, Ed Bradley, Skip Brown, Dot Casey, Ashby Cook, Abe Elmore, Bill Hensley, Linwood Holt, Costi Kutteh, Anne Philpott, Jody Puckett, Dr. Jack Sawyer, Jerry West and Frank Wyatt.

Anyone can nominate a person to the Hall of Fame. Eligibility for Hall of Fame members is defined by 10 criteria, which include being out of school for 10 years (or deceased); receiving national recognition as an athlete, Coach or administrator; being of good character and reputation; and having no stronger connection with another university.
