“Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is an incredible honor. It is a remarkable lifetime achievement, and I am humbled by the nomination. It is special to me, because I dedicated my time and career at Akron to my father who passed away my first semester. It is also a tribute to my family and friends for their support; my coaches and teammates for challenging me; and my professors and support staff for their help. They are all a part of my success.”
