RALEIGH, N.C. - Wolfpack legend Torry Holt has been named to the 2022 induction class for The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. The members will be enshrined during the 58th annual induction banquet on the evening of Friday, April 22, at the Raleigh Convention Center.Â
Â
Holt was a standout for the Pack from 1995-98, setting numerous school records, earning first-team All-American honors and being named the ACC Player of the Year in 1998. He is currently sixth on the ACC's career receiving yards list. The sixth overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, Holt grew up in Gibsonville and was a star high school athlete at Eastern Guilford.
Â
He went on to an amazing NFL career, primarily with the St. Louis Rams, winning a Super Bowl and going to seven Pro Bowls as part of the "Greatest Show on Turf." Holt led the league in receiving yards twice and was selected to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 2000s.
Â
Holt joins the induction class that also includes Luke Appling, Missouri Arledge, Ronnie Barnes, Henry Bibby, Dan Brooks, Sam Mills, Timmy Newsome, Dave Robbins, and Tom Suiter. In addition to the 2022 inductees, Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues also will officially join the NCSHOF. He was elected previously but could not attend the 2021 banquet, so he will be formally inducted with the 2022 class.
Â
The NC Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1963. A permanent gallery, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame is located on the third floor of the NC Museum of History in Raleigh and features significant objects and memorabilia donated by inductees. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
