Here is who will be inducted into the 2024 class.
– The 1991 softball team won a program-best 49 games and set 67 school records in advancing to the Women’s College World Series. They lost 1-0 in 13 innings to eventual national champion Arizona.
– Bruce Bayne, a past president of the UNLV Football Foundation, is a true hero of our institution. He spearheaded the transformation of UNLV football’s Rebel Park, leaving an indelible mark on our campus. We are deeply grateful for his dedication and service.
– Dwaine Knight, a two-time national golf coach of the year, is widely considered this sport’s top all-time collegiate coach. Knight led UNLV to 22 trips to the national finals and 11 top-eight finishes, including the 1998 national championship. His induction into the UNLV Sports Hall of Fame is a testament to his outstanding contributions to the sport and the university.
– Kevin Lofthus, a first-team All-American in baseball, led the nation with 26 home runs in 1989. He still holds the UNLV record with a 34-game hitting streak.
– Christine Parris, a two-time All-American in softball, helped the program earn its first national ranking in 1990. She also played basketball at UNLV.
– Paul Pucciarelli spent 31 years in the equipment department and coordinated purchasing for all 17 UNLV sports.
– Steve Stallworth, a former UNLV football quarterback, will receive the hall’s Silver Rebel Award, which honors former members of the school’s athletics family, such as student-athletes, coaches or staff members, whose primary accomplishments took place after leaving campus but have brought positive recognition to the university.Â
