Razorback Legends Shine in 2026 Hall of Honor Class

The University of Arkansas is set to honor its rich athletic history with the induction of seven remarkable individuals into the UA Sports Hall of Honor. This year's class includes football stars Jason Peters and Tony Bua, basketball standout Ronnie Brewer, and four other talented athletes who made their mark on the Razorbacks' legacy. They will be recognized on September 25 at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, and their achievements will be celebrated on the field during the Razorbacks' home football game against Tulsa the following day.

Jason Peters and Tony Bua were key players on the Arkansas football team in the early 2000s. Peters, a versatile player who transitioned from defensive lineman to tight end, earned All-SEC honors in 2003 with 21 catches for 218 yards and 4 touchdowns. His impressive performance paved the way for a successful 21-year NFL career. Bua, a linebacker and safety, was a three-time All-SEC selection and finished his career as the team's all-time leader with 408 tackles.

Ronnie Brewer, a basketball standout, scored 1,416 points over three seasons at Arkansas and was a Freshman All-American in 2004 and an All-American in 2006. He was drafted 14th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2006 NBA Draft and went on to play 10 years in professional basketball. After returning to Fayetteville, Brewer joined the Arkansas basketball staff and currently serves as the director of student-athlete development.

The class also includes Brett Eibner, a two-way baseball player who turned down a draft pick to play for the Razorbacks. He finished his career with 42 home runs, tied for third in program history, and had a memorable game-tying home run in the 2009 College World Series. Eibner was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 2010 and had brief stints in MLB as a position player and pitcher.

Other inductees include Tina Sutej, a pole vaulter who won two indoor national championships and competed in multiple Olympics; Bud Still, a four-time All-America golfer who was SEC Golfer of the Year in 1994; Heather Schlictman Scharf, a softball pitcher who set program records with 886 strikeouts and a 1.59 ERA; and Dave England, the longtime men's basketball trainer who worked with the Razorbacks for over four decades and was inducted posthumously.
