“The Southwest Conference played such an important part in our program’s history and we are pleased to once again recognize nine deserving Razorbacks who helped make our tenure in that league so successful,” University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Jeff Long said. “This year’s inductee class includes a diverse group of Razorback legends who either coached or competed successfully during their distinguished collegiate careers. And while they all competed in different sports, they all share a common trait of representing the University of Arkansas and the Southwest Conference with great class and dignity.”

The Southwest Conference Hall of Fame is one of four separate halls of fame housed within the Texas Sports Hall of Fame’s physical structure.
