Razorback Ronnie Caveness selected to Hall of Fame

Former University of Arkansas standout Ronnie Caveness was selected from the national ballot of 77 candidates and a pool of hundreds of eligible nominees for the 2010 College Football Hall of Fame Football Subdivision Class, which was announced Thursday by Archie Manning, Chairman of The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. The class includes the names of 12 First Team All-America players and two legendary coaches.
"We are extremely proud that Ronnie Caveness has been selected for enshrinement in the College Hall of Fame," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "During his Razorback career, Ronnie established himself as one of the nation's best players on offense and defense. Ronnie was an All-American and an All-Southwest Conference performer and as a senior captain he helped the Razorbacks to a perfect 11-0 record and the 1964 national championship. Ronnie Caveness is truly a Razorback football legend. We are looking forward to celebrating this tremendous honor with Ronnie and his wife Teresa in the days and months to come."
