Update:
Hall of Fame
Kicks Off At DKR

This fall marks the opening of The Frank Denius Family University of Texas Athletics​ Hall of Fame. Located in the Red McCombs Red Zone at the north end of Darrell K Royal-Texas​ Memorial Stadium, this new attraction will draw alumni, fans, supporters and college athletics enthusiasts by showcasing the unique legacy of Longhorn sports.

Thanks to a leadership gift by the Cain Foundation​ and the family of legendary alumnus Frank Denius, the university’s first-ever hall of fame will tell the story of Texas Athletics from the days of its first football team in 1893 to now, using visual and digital displays to honor the 55 national championship teams, 596 conference titles, hundreds of individual champions, more than 2,500 All-Americans, 160 Olympians and 15 Bevos of UT’s sports history.

Trophies and images from the 2018-19 season—including the men’s tennis national championship, Sugar Bowl win for football, and men’s basketball NIT championship—will also be on display.

The Denius Hall of Fame will be the new home for the statues of UT’s legendary coaches and supporters, as well as more than 850 trophies and 500 silver scrolls recognizing the members of the Longhorn Hall of Honor.

“We wanted to build a place where we could celebrate our awesome history every day, and we are beyond grateful to the Denius Family and the Cain Foundation for helping us make this a reality,” says Vice President and Athletics​ Director Chris Del Conte. “This will be an opportunity for us to pay tribute and share the stories of the people, teams and traditions that make Texas Athletics so special. And, alongside that, it also will allow us to honor the legacy of our dear friend Frank Denius for generations to come.”
