BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Nine of Texas A&M Athletics’ most accomplished contributors were inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame Friday night at the 44th Annual Burgess Banquet inside the Ford Hall of Champions at Kyle Field.
“We are incredibly thankful to have been able to celebrate and induct this great group into Texas A&M immortality this weekend,” Director of Athletics Ross Bjork said. “These hall of famers and our Lifetime Achievement and Hall of Honor recipients, built the foundation that we stand on today. Their sacrifice, dedication and excellence on and off the field of play set a level of expectation that we strive for on a daily basis. These Aggie legends are proof of our mission to create opportunities through championship athletics, and I am grateful for all that they have done to make Aggieland the Home of the 12th Man.”
The 2022 class featured national and conference champions, All-Americans, school record holders and the second Heisman Trophy winner in school history. Additionally, Matt Rose ’04 (Men’s Swimming & Diving) joined the group after not being able to attend last year’s ceremony due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in his home country of Canada. Chuck McGuire was inducted posthumously after his passing on Feb. 2, 2019.
The 2022 Hall of Honor Recipient was Cathy Capps ’85 who went above and beyond in her contributions and support of the athletic programs at Texas A&M. She served Texas A&M for 26 years as assistant athletics director and executive director of the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association.
Davey Johnson ’64 was the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award winner for his prominence throughout his career in his Major League Baseball career after leaving Aggieland. He lettered in both basketball and baseball in 1962 and went on to become a World Series Champion as a player and a manager in the MLB.
