ORLANDO - It's time to begin the process of selecting the 2006 class of the UCF Athletics Hall of Fame and we need your help. We are looking for nominees to be added to the list for consideration. If you know of a qualified candidate we should consider, please let us know.
Below you will see the current list of nominees as well as the list of UCF Athletics Hall of Fame members. If someone is already on the list, there is no need to nominate them again. Nominations will be accepted during the month of April.
