The 13-member N-Club Hall of Fame class of 2025 will add another highlight to its collective resume Saturday night.
The group will be inducted into the school’s athletic shrine in a 10 a.m. ceremony Saturday at Magale Recital Hall on the Northwestern campus. Admission is free. A reception honoring them starts at 9 a.m.
The inductees will be back in the spotlight at the NSU homecoming football game Saturday night as the Exchange Bank and Trust Demon Greats of the Game. They will be recognized during a first-half timeout in the game that kicks off at 6 against against East Texas A&M.
Four-time All-American javelin thrower Cody Fillinich tops a class that spans seven Northwestern sports – two of which have three members earning enshrinement.
Three Demon men’s basketball players who helped the program collect NCAA Tournament victories – Josh Hancock, Tyrone Mitchell and Jermaine Wallace — are headed into the Hall. Mitchell and Wallace were teammates on the Demons of Destiny – the 2005-06 Northwestern squad that upset third-seeded Iowa on Wallace’s last-second 3-pointer in a moment that lives on in March Madness lore.
Three football players – punter Mike Crow, running back Derrick Johnsese and wide receiver Toby Zeigler – will be enshrined as well. Joining those seven are softball pitcher Amanda Glenn and coach Gay McNutt, women’s basketball’s Amanda Bennett, soccer’s Heather Penico and baseball’s David Reynolds. Layne Miller, a fixture around Northwestern athletics and tailgates, will be honored with the Distinguished Service Award.
