Eight former University of Arkansas student-athletes have been selected as members of the 2025 class of the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor, the university’s athletic department announced Monday (July 28).

Makeba Alcide (women’s track & field), Brian Baker (men’s track & field/cross country), Zack Cox (baseball), the late Ryan Mallett (football), C’eira Ricketts (women’s basketball), James Rouse (football), Dwight Stewart (men’s basketball) and Clint Stoerner (football) will be inducted in a ceremony to be held Sept. 26, 2025, at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.

Mallett will be inducted posthumously.

The ceremony is set for the night prior to the Razorbacks’ first-ever meeting with Notre Dame at 11 a.m. inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Inductees are elected to the UA Sports Hall of Honor based on a vote by former Razorback letterwinners in conjunction with the A Club.

“Every year it is a privilege to induct our Razorback greats into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor, and this year is no exception,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said in a statement. “Our 2025 class represents individuals whose achievements, character and legacy have forever shaped the proud tradition of Razorback Athletics. It will truly be a fantastic weekend honoring them in September.”

Following are brief notes on the 2025 UA Sports Hall of Honor inductees.

Makeba Alcide

A St. Lucian native, Alcide competed for the Razorback women’s track and field team from 2009 to 2013, excelling in the pentathlon and heptathlon. She set a then-collegiate record in the pentathlon with a score of 4,569 points to win the 2013 SEC Indoor title and then finished third at the NCAA Championships.

Brian Baker

A distance runner and member of the Razorback dynasty in the 1990s, Baker was part of nine national championship team titles accumulated by Arkansas from 1990 to 1993, which included a pair of national triple crowns in 1992 and 1993.

Zack Cox

Cox spent two years as the third baseman for the Razorbacks in 2009-10 and proved himself as one of the best hitters in school history. His season batting average of .429 and hit total of 102 in 2010 still lead all Arkansas hitters over a decade later.

Ryan Mallett

One of the most prolific passers in Razorback history, Mallett came to Arkansas after playing his freshman season at the University of Michigan. In two years as a Razorback, Mallett completed 491 of 814 pass attempts for 7,493 yards and 62 touchdowns.

C’eira Ricketts

Ricketts was an All-Southeastern Conference guard for the Razorbacks from 2008-12. The Louisville, Ky.-native’s name is sprinkled throughout the Arkansas record books, including being eighth in total career points.

James Rouse

Rouse played football for four years for the Razorbacks (1985, 1987–1989), rushing for 2,887 yards and 39 touchdowns. In the 1987 season, Rouse ran for 1,004 yards and 17 touchdowns, giving the Razorbacks their first 1,000-yard rusher since Ben Cowins in 1978.

Dwight Stewart

Stewart was a three-time letterwinner for the Razorbacks from 1993 to 1995, after transferring to Arkansas from South Plains Junior College. The big man helped the Hogs to 85 victories, three Sweet Sixteens, two Elite Eights, two Final Fours, two consecutive NCAA Tournament Championship Games and the 1994 NCAA National Championship.

Clint Stoerner

Stoerner was a Second-Team All-SEC quarterback in 1998 and 1999 leading the Razorbacks to a share of the SEC Western Division title in 1998. Stoerner was Arkansas’ offensive leader in each of three years – 1997-1999 – as well as Arkansas’ total offensive leader – 528 passes completed and 57 touchdowns.
