Texas A&M’s 2026 Hall of Fame class brings star power, Olympic greatness and Aggie legacy together, led by Myles Garrett and Terry Price.
Texas A&M didn’t just announce another Hall of Fame class. The Aggies rolled out a legacy lineup.
The Texas A&M University Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2026 features eight former Aggie standouts, with Myles Garrett headlining a group loaded with national champions, Olympians, record-breakers and program-shaping names.
Terry Price, one of the most beloved figures in Aggie football history, will also be honored with the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association Hall of Honor, while basketball trailblazer Kelly Krauskopf receives the Lifetime Achievement Award.
That’s a big night in Aggieland.
The 2026 Hall of Fame class includes Carrie Austgen from softball, Myles Garrett from football, Sarah Henry from swimming and diving, Henry Lelei from men’s cross country, Maggie Malone-Hardin from women’s track and field, Tyler Naquin from baseball, Jaele Patrick from women’s swimming and diving, and Lindon Victor from men’s track and field.
Texas A&M Director of Athletics Trev Alberts praised the class, saying the honorees’ accomplishments “continue to shine a positive light” on the university and athletic department.
Garrett is the name casual fans will recognize immediately, and for good reason.
Before becoming one of the NFL’s most feared defenders, he wrecked offensive lines in College Station from 2014-16.
Garrett finished his Texas A&M career with 32.5 sacks, 48.5 tackles for loss, 145 tackles and seven forced fumbles.
He was a consensus All-American, a two-time first-team All-SEC selection and became the first Aggie ever taken No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft.
His pro resume only made the Aggie legend louder. Garrett has earned seven Pro Bowl selections, five first-team All-Pro honors and multiple NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, including a monster 2025 season with 23 sacks.
But this class isn’t a one-name show.
Austgen helped power Texas A&M softball to back-to-back national championships in 1982 and 1983.
Henry became the Aggies’ first NCAA champion in the 400 IM and earned 16 All-America honors.
Patrick made history as Texas A&M’s first national champion diver, winning the 3-meter springboard in 2012.
Track and field is all over this class, too. Lelei became one of the greatest distance runners in school history, winning multiple SEC titles and setting records that still stand.
Malone-Hardin dominated the javelin, won an NCAA title, set an American record and became a three-time Olympian.
Victor rewrote the multi-event record book, winning back-to-back NCAA decathlon titles and later claiming Olympic bronze for Grenada at the 2024 Paris Games.
Naquin gives baseball its moment. The former Aggie outfielder hit .346 over his college career, drove in 112 runs, scored 153 times and helped Texas A&M reach the 2011 College World Series.
He later became a first-round MLB Draft pick and played eight seasons in the majors.
Then there’s Price, known simply as “TP.”
A former Aggie defensive lineman and longtime assistant coach, Price’s impact stretched far beyond recruiting rankings and defensive line production.
He helped bring Garrett to College Station, developed future NFL talent and became a generational connector inside the Texas A&M football family.
Krauskopf’s honor carries a different kind of weight.
A former Texas A&M women’s basketball letterwinner, she became a major figure in professional basketball, leading the Indiana Fever to a WNBA title and later becoming one of the first women to hold an NBA front office role with the Indiana Pacers.
The 48th annual Burgess Banquet will be held Sept. 11 inside the Ford Hall of Champions, with the honorees also set to be recognized during halftime of Texas A&M’s Sept. 12 game against Arizona State.
For Texas A&M, this class isn’t just about plaques.
It’s about proof that Aggie greatness has traveled from diamonds, pools and tracks to NFL Sundays, Olympic podiums and executive offices.
