Introducing the Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2025 Inductees

Father Ryan High School is proud to announce the 2025 Class of the school's Athletics Hall of Fame: six athletes, two contributors, and two teams whose accomplishments showcase the legacy of the historic school’s successful athletic programs in Nashville and the State of Tennessee.

These athletes and leaders represent classes from 1954 to 2004 and were selected from more than 100 nominations submitted by our community. They will be formally inducted into the Hall of Fame during a special ceremony on August 21, 2025, at Father Ryan and will be the honorary captains at the school's August 22 home Football game. 

Ann Mullins '03, Director of Athletics, said that she was pleased with the response from the
Father Ryan community. “Each year, I am inspired by reading the accomplishments of the nominees to the Hall of Fame, and I am always touched by their stories,” she said. “The achievements of these six athletes, the impact of these outstanding contributors, and the memories engendered by these two historic State Championship Teams provide a fitting Hall of Fame Class for our 100 Years of Father Ryan celebration year.  I thank the Hall of Fame Selection Committee for their outstanding work and look forward to celebrating these men and women in August.”
