Iowa football legend Sedrick Shaw selected to Hawkeyes’ 2026 Hall of Fame class

Iowa football’s all-time leading rusher is getting the recognition he deserves.

Sedrick Shaw was a Hawkeye from 1993-96. Shaw rushed for a school-record 4,156 yards and is tied with Tavian Banks for the most career rushing touchdowns with 33.

Despite his name being strung across the Hawkeye football record book, Shaw hadn’t been inducted into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. That will change soon.

On Wednesday, Iowa announced its 2026 Athletics Hall of Fame class. Shaw joins six other former Iowa athletes in the 2026 Hall of Fame class:

• Kim Baker-El Abiad: Women’s Gymnastics

• Klas Bergstrom: Men’s Tennis

• Diane DeMiro Simmons: Field Hockey

• Amy Herrig Tanny: Women’s Basketball

• Matt McDonough: Men’s Wrestling

• Janet Moylan Ritter: Volleyball

This is the 37th Hall of Fame class for Iowa. The inductees will be honored and inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday, Sept. 4, the night before the Hawkyes open the football season against Northern Illinois.

The ceremony is open to the public and will take place at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the ceremony starting at 6:30 p.m. The admission cost is $25.
