EUGENE, Ore. – One of the most dominant defensive linemen in school history, a record-setting Rose Bowl quarterback, a pair of NCAA women’s track & field champions, and one of the Ducks’ two NCAA wrestling champions in school history are among the inductees voted into the University of Oregon’s 25th class of its Athletics Hall-of-Fame during ceremonies surrounding the school’s football game with Colorado the weekend of Sept. 23-24.
Headlining the inductees that includes two former Oregon football standouts, a pair of women’s track & field NCAA All-Americans, one national collegiate wrestling champion, and a women’s softball pioneer is 10-year NFL veteran defensive lineman and two-time All-Pro selection Haloti Ngata, who became only the Ducks’ second consensus All-American at the time in 2005.
