BYU Athletics wrapped up a special weekend as the school celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Athletic Hall of Fame by inducting seven new members. The ceremony took place on Friday, Nov. 14 in the Marriott Center Annex.
The event brought families, friends, former teammates and longtime Cougar fans together to honor the impact each inductee made on BYU athletics.
This year’s class featured a wide range of talent: Alexa Gray (women’s volleyball), Tyler Haws (men’s basketball), Nachelle Stewart Mackie (women’s track and field), Trevor Matich (football), Jack Morris (baseball), Mark Philbrick (photography), and Roger Reid (men’s basketball coach).
Gray, one of the most dominant volleyball players in program history, earned three All-American honors and helped lead BYU to its first NCAA championship match appearance in 2014.
Haws, known for his consistency and work ethic, finished as BYU’s all-time leading scorer with 2,720 points — a mark that still places him among the top scorers in NCAA history.
Mackie made national headlines in 2012 when she won both the indoor and outdoor NCAA titles in the 800 meters, becoming the first BYU woman to achieve that feat in the same season.
Matich, a key member of BYU’s 1984 national championship football team, spent more than a decade in the NFL and went on to have a successful career as a national sports analyst.
Morris, who pitched at BYU before moving on to Major League Baseball, became known for his postseason heroics and won four World Series titles.
Philbrick, BYU’s longtime photographer, spent over 40 years documenting Cougar athletics and became known for capturing some of the most iconic images in school history.
Reid, who coached the men’s basketball team from 1989 to 1996, led the Cougars to five NCAA Tournament appearances and several conference titles.
The Hall of Fame was created in 1975 as part of BYU’s centennial celebration. Since then, nearly 250 individuals and 11 teams have been inducted. The 2025 class was also introduced during BYU’s home football game the following day, giving fans a chance to honor the new members in front of a full stadium.
The weekend served as a reminder of BYU’s long tradition of athletic excellence and the lasting influence these seven honorees have had on the university.
