The University of Minnesota "M" Club, one of the nation's oldest and largest alumni letterwinner organizations, today announced its Hall of Fame Class of 2016, a group which includes 11 former student-athletes who represented 10 different Gopher teams. The newest group of hall-of-famers will be officially inducted during the "M" Club's annual Hall of Fame banquet, which will be held in the DQ Club Room at TCF Bank Stadium on October 20.
"Earning a varsity letter and the opportunity to proudly wear the M on your chest is an accomplishment that brings pride to someone for the rest of his or her life," said "M" Club director George Adzick. "To be recognized as not just a letterwinner, but as one of the greatest letterwinners in the history of Gopher Athletics, is an honor reserved for a very select few. I am delighted for the 11 newest members of our Hall of Fame and excited to be there as their names are placed forever among other Minnesota legends."
The 2016 "M" Club Hall of Fame class includes:
Al Nuness (Men's Basketball) - Two-time All-Big Ten player and the first African-American, full-time coach at the University of Minnesota.
