DeKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois University head coach Thomas Hammock was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame Tuesday night during a ceremony in Hammock’s hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he starred as a running back at Bishop Luers High School.

Hammock, who was inducted into the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022 after a stellar career for the Huskies, enters his seventh season as head coach at his alma mater in 2025.

“To be inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame is a tremendous honor and something I was not expecting,” Hammock said.
