Sports - Winning Athletic Programs
ÍøÆØÃÅ alumnus Antonio Gates was officially enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, delivering an emotional speech that highlighted his years as a Golden Flash and thanked the coaches who helped launch his improbable journey from college basketball to NFL stardom.
Two ÍøÆØÃÅ alumni will be in the spotlight this week as the Pro Football Hall of Fame celebrates its Class of 2025, with Antonio Gates set for enshrinement Saturday and Mary Kay Cabot receiving prestigious recognition for her four decades of sports journalism excellence.
Mary Kay Cabot's career covering Cleveland sports began with a simple internship at The Plain Dealer while she was a student at ÍøÆØÃÅ. More than 40 years later, that internship has led to the highest honor in professional football journalism.
A size 15E purple cleat with deep personal meaning now sits on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, part of the newly unveiled Class of 2025 exhibit that includes artifacts from Antonio Gates’ remarkable journey from ÍøÆØÃÅ basketball star to NFL legend.
Former ÍøÆØÃÅ quarterback and New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame as the 37th inductee, the team announced Monday.
