Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson highlight seven HOF inductions tonight

Tonight, Pro Football Hall of Famers Rickey Jackson and Russ Grimm, seven All-Americans and three others will officially be inducted to the school’s athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2022.

“This is yet another remarkable class that represents the very best of Pitt’s rich athletics history,” athletic director Heather Lyke said. “These individuals wore the Blue and Gold with high distinction, and their achievements continue to inspire us today. Our Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame Dinner is always a memorable evening and this year’s event will be no exception.”

The induction will be done at a dinner tonight at Acusire Stadium and then the class will be introduced to the crowd tomorrow night at the game against Georgia Tech.
