"I'm incredibly excited about this year's Hall of Fame class and commend the committee for assembling such an exceptional group of honorees," said TU Vice President and Director of Athletics Justin Moore. "This class represents a powerful mix of excellence across multiple sports and generations, truly reflecting the rich tradition and enduring legacy of Tulsa Athletics."
The 1946 Football team will be honored as this year's Hall of Fame Team and Mike Case will receive the Henneke Golden Legacy Award, which recognizes the outstanding accomplishments, extraordinary service, commitment and support to TU athletics and its student-athletes. Henneke served as University President from 1958-67 and was the awards first recipient in 2024.
A two-time Missouri Valley Conference running back, Ronnie Morris (1956-58), led Tulsa in receiving during the 1956 season and rushing in 1957 and 1958. During the 1956 season, he had nine catches for 150 yards and four touchdowns. The following year he averaged 4.6 yards per carry and rushed for 569 yards. His numbers improved in 1958 as he gained 624 yards for a 4.9 average, the 18th best mark in the NCAA.
After his time at TU, he went onto play and coach professionally in the Canadian Football League. During his playing days in the CFL, he played for the Calgary Stampeders, Toronto Argonauts and the BC Lions, where he was used in his early career as a running back, defensive halfback and punter by the Stampeders. When he was with the Argonauts, he set the CFL playoff record by catching four touchdown passes from Tobin Rote and had the second most points scored (24) and most touchdowns scored in a playoff game.
He coached the BC Lions as an assistant coach from 1967 and 1968, while serving as the interim head coach in 1967. He was a member of the BC Lions CFL Grey Cup Champions.
The school's leader in career assists, Greg Harrington (1998-02) is amongst the top point guards in school history. He dished out 551 assists during his time at TU. Along with passing the rock, Harrington is the all-time winningest player in school history with a 108-33 record in four years. During his four years, he played in four postseason teams, including three NCAA and one NIT, including the 2000 NCAA Elite Eight and 2001 NIT Championship Teams.
He played in 141 games and started 101 games, including being named to as a 1999 WAC All-Newcomer Team and WAC Mountain Division Freshman of the Year. He was also a First Team All-WAC selection in 2002.
He was a three-year double-digit scorer for the Golden Hurricane and finished with a career average of 10.8 points. He shot 46.7 percent from the field, 41.3 percent from 3-point range and 78.1 percent from the free throw line for his career. During his senior season, he averaged 13.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game.
A four-time All-WAC selection, David Inglis (2000-04) won an unprecedented four straight (2001-04) WAC Individual Titles during his time as a member of the TU men's golf program. He became just the second male collegiate golfer to ever win four straight conference individual titles, tying former Longhorn Justin Leonard.
He was named a Second-Team PING All-American in 2001 and 2023 and an honorable mention in 2004. He played in 52 tournaments and had 38 top 20 performances and placed among the top 10 30 times with 23 top 5 performances and eight career wins.
During his senior season he placed among the top 20 in nine of 12 tournaments and a stroke average of 72.0, a 70.7 average as a junior, 72.5 as a sophomore and 71.9 in his freshman campaign. He was named to the PING All-American Scholar Team both his junior and senior seasons.
One of the most prolific tight ends in college football history, Garrett Mills (2002-05) left an indelible mark on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane program. A dominant offensive weapon, Mills earned third-team Associated Press All-America honors and second-team Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America recognition in 2005, while also being named a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America selection.
During his senior season, Mills led all tight ends nationally with 87 receptions for 1,235 yards and nine touchdowns, showcasing his rare combination of size, skill, and consistency. A three-time first-team all-conference selection across the Western Athletic Conference (2003, 2004) and Conference USA (2005), he finished his career with 201 receptions for 2,389 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Mills played a pivotal role in Tulsa's 2005 championship run, helping lead the Golden Hurricane to both the Conference USA title and a victory in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
Following his collegiate career, Mills was selected in the 2006 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots and went on to play professionally with the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the most accomplished setters in Tulsa Golden Hurricane volleyball history, Julia Silva (2005-07) set the standard for excellence during her standout career from 2005 to 2007. A three-time honorable mention All-American, Silva consistently ranked among the nation's elite at her position.
She earned first-team All-Midwest Region honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) as both a junior and senior, after collecting second-team recognition as a sophomore. Silva's dominance was further recognized within Conference USA, where she was named Setter of the Year in back-to-back seasons (2006, 2007). Silva is the all-time leader in assists in program history.
A two-time first-team all-conference selection and one-time second-team honoree, Silva's impact on the program was both immediate and lasting. In recognition of her extraordinary contributions and legacy, her jersey was retired—cementing her place among the all-time greats in Tulsa volleyball history.
The most accomplished sprinter in Tulsa Golden Hurricane track & field history, Bryce Robinson (2012-16) delivered a remarkable career defined by speed, consistency, and championship success. An eight-time All-American, Robinson earned five indoor honors and three outdoor accolades across the 60 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters.
His standout performances included a third-place finish in the 200 meters at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships, solidifying his place among the nation's elite sprinters. Robinson also dominated at the conference level, capturing eight individual conference championships—one in Conference USA and seven in the American Athletic Conference.
A record-setter in every sense, Robinson holds Tulsa school records in the indoor 60 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters, as well as the outdoor 100 meters and 200 meters. His legacy remains one of the most decorated in program history.
Mike Case has been named the recipient of the Henneke Golden Legacy Award. A dedicated and longtime supporter of the University of Tulsa, Case has made a profound and lasting impact on the institution through his generosity and leadership.
His significant financial contributions have helped shape the landscape of Tulsa athletics, including the development of the Michael D. Case Tennis Center, the Case Athletic Complex, and the Pat Case Dining Center. In addition to these transformative projects, Case has consistently supported a wide range of athletic and university initiatives. Most recently Mike established "The Case Fund", which is part of Tulsa Athletics and the Golden Hurricane Champions Fund's ongoing commitment to invest in the academic support of TU student-athlete and to continue to support a competitive program.
Through his unwavering commitment and vision, Case's legacy is firmly woven into the continued growth and success of Tulsa athletics and the university community.

The 1946 Golden Hurricane recorded a record of 9-1 and placed first in the Missouri Valley Conference. The team was ranked as high as 17th in the nation in the Associated Press poll. TU outscored opponents 295 to 83 during the season and were a perfect 7-0 when playing at Skelly Stadium.
