Former Alabama running back and 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram was officially inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame on May 3 at the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel.

“Big Blessings!!” Ingram said on X. “Thank God, my family, and every single person who has had their hand in helping me throughout this journey!! #RollTide #GodWinS”

Ingram starred at Alabama from 2008-10 and was named the storied college football program’s first-ever Heisman winner in 2009.
