Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that Rutgers will be inducting six new members to its Athletic Hall of Fame.
They will be officially inducted on September 27, and the day after will be introduced at the Scarlet Knights home game against Washington.
The Class of 2024 is:
John “Pomp” Chandler, Lightweight Football. Chandler led Rutgers to three undefeated seasons with an overall record of 15-0-1. Rutgers was considered the National Championship in two of those years.
Hallie Cohen, Field Hockey, Softball and Women’s Basketball. Cohen was a three-sport star who took Rutgers to the AIAW World Series.
Marla Grant, Field Hockey, and Women’s Lacrosse. Grant was the first women’s lacrosse player in Rutgers history to be named an All-American.
Devin McCourty, Football. McCourty helped take Rutgers to four bowl championships (2006 Texas, 2008 International, 2008 Papa Johns.com and St. Petersburg) and was a First Team All-Big East Selection as a Senior. He was drafted by the New England Patriots and helped them win three Super Bowls.
Jason McCourty, Football. Devin’s brother, Jason, played on three college bowl winning teams for the Scarlet Knights, and would also join the Patriots. He won a Super Bowl there.
Ralph Tedeschi, Fencing. Tedeschi helped Rutgers co-win the 1949 National Championship in Foil.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the Rutgers Athletic Hall of Fame.
