The Ohio State athletic department has announced their 2019 Hall of Fame class. The two most notable additions were AJ Hawk, the successful NFL linebacker, and Thad Matta, the long-time basketball coach.
The department did release a statement naming all ten of the Buckeye legends that’ll be brought into the Ohio State Varsity “O” Hall of Fame.
“The group includes Boyd Cherry (football), Justin Fry (baseball), Jim Foster (women’s basketball coach), AJ Hawk (football), Stan Lyons (men’s track and field), Thad Matta (men’s basketball coach), Mike Nugent (football), Andrew Pierce (men’s track and field), Natalie Spooner (women’s ice hockey) and RJ Umberger (men’s ice hockey).”
There were a bit more details behind the induction and the actual public announcement of that induction.
“The Class of 2019 will be officially inducted at a dinner Sept. 6 in the Ohio Union and introduced to the public at halftime of the Ohio State home football game vs. Cincinnati Sept. 7. Tickets will go on sale for the dinner this summer, with registration information to be released at a later date.”
This class has meant quite a bit to the athletic department and each addition is a welcome site. That said, congratulations to the entire Hall of Fame Class of 2019!
