HISTORY
Ring of Honor
The Ring of Honor was established during the 1997 season as a way to recognize the outstanding players that have passed through the Hurricane football program. Names will
be added to the Ring of Honor on a regular basis by either decade or position played. Those names and their jersey numbers will be permanently affixed for display on the facing
of the Orange Bowl’s northside upper deck. The names of the Ring of Honor members have become a distinctive characteristic of the Orange Bowl stadium, one of the world’s
most recognizable sports venues.
