Randall Cobb and Tayshaun Prince officially inducted into Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame

Two all-time Wildcats are right where they belong as HOFers as All-Americans Randall Cobb and Tayshaun Prince have been inducted into the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2025. They were part of a four-person class, joining former Louisville gymnast and gymnastics coach Carole Liedtke and one of the most accomplished female trap shooters in U.S. history, Nora Martin Ross.

The pair of Kentucky legends were honored with their families on Tuesday inside Freedom Hall in Louisville. They were nominated by a selection committee comprised of 15 sports media professionals from throughout the Commonwealth, announced by the Louisville Sports Commission.

To be considered for nomination, you must be a Kentucky native, a longtime Kentucky resident, have played college sports in Kentucky or participated/coached in college, amateur or professional sports in the state for an extended period. Cobb and Prince certainly met those qualifications.

“The KSHOF Class of 2025 honors four exceptional individuals who represent a wide range of sports and occupations – each having made a major impact on sports in the Commonwealth and nationally,” said Louisville Sports Commission President and CEO Greg Fante at the time. “This year’s inductees have worked diligently to make a difference in their respective areas. And we are proud to celebrate their achievements in Freedom Hall, home of the KSHOF’s official enshrinement gallery.”

Kentucky legends!

Cobb earned First Team All-America and First Team All-SEC honors during his three-year career as a Kentucky Wildcat (2008-10). He played quarterback and wide receiver while also returning kicks and punts under Rich Brooks and Joker Phillips, setting the SEC single-season record for all-purpose yardage (2,396 yards in 2010) and the Kentucky career record for touchdowns (37). A finalist for the Paul Hornung Award for the nation’s most versatile player, Cobb was the only FBS player to rank first or second on a team in rushing, passing, and receiving during the 2010 season. He went on to a 13-year NFL career, tallying over 7,600 yards and 54 touchdowns as a Pro Bowler.

As for Prince, he was a two-time All-American during his four-year career at Kentucky (1999-2002), winning SEC Player of the Year and SEC Tournament MVP honors in 2001 while leading the Wildcats to three NCAA Sweet 16 appearances and one trip to the Elite Eight. During his 14-season NBA career, he won a world championship, was a four-time All-Defensive Selection with the Pistons, and won an Olympic Gold Medal with the U.S. “Redeem Team” at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Now, they’re immortalized as Hall of Famers here in the state of Kentucky.

Quite the honor for No. 18 and No. 21.
