Seminole Rugby Hall of Fame

The Seminole Rugby Hall of Fame was created in 2008 in order to honor the club's finest all-time members. The club's founders were inducted in April of 2008, while a second class was inducted in April of 2010. Any club member can be nominated by their peers and existing members of the HOF vote to induct players in a process that is still evolving. Rugby related accomplishments both during a nominee's tenure at FSU and afterwards are considered. Kirk Swanner has served as the HOF Curator since its inception in 2008.
