Six decorated student-athletes comprise the 2024 University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame class, announced on Thursday, June 27.
The 2024 class includes: Jordan Hooper (women’s basketball, 2011-14); Carl Myerscough (men’s track and field, 2000-04); Virginia Stahr (volleyball, 1986-89); Ndamukong Suh (football, 2005-09); Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis, 2009-13); and Emily Wong (women’s gymnastics, 2011-14).
All six members of the 2024 class were either an individual national champion or the national or conference player of the year in their respective sport. Each Hall of Famer was an All-American during their Husker career, with the class combining for a total of 26 All-America awards.
“We are excited to recognize and celebrate the achievements of six of the greatest student-athletes in the history of Nebraska Athletics,” Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said. “It is an incredible accomplishment to be inducted into the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame. Each of our six inductees were elite competitors who made significant contributions to the storied tradition of Nebraska Athletics. We look forward to welcoming them back to campus this fall to honor their legacies.”
The 2024 Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame class will be inducted in a ceremony on Friday, Oct. 4. The class will be permanently enshrined on a granite plaque with the names of the six members added to the University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame Plaza.
The Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame Plaza is located on a walkway near the new Osborne Legacy Complex, stretching from outside of East Memorial Stadium and continuing to the historic NU Coliseum. The University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame Plaza is accessible to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week at no charge and is lit for night viewing. The plaza recognizes each annual Hall of Fame class, along with columns dedicated to the history and successes of each of Nebraska’s athletic programs.
