Proud to recognize these Aggie legends as they join the Lettermen’s Association Hall of Fame Class of 2025

In the storied history of Texas A&M Athletics, there are moments that rise above the rest—when the achievements of exceptional student-athletes and contributors are honored, their legacies enshrined, and their impact celebrated. One such moment is upon us again, as we proudly recognize the latest inductees into the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association Hall of Fame Class of 2025. These Aggie legends have exemplified excellence, leadership, integrity, and the Aggie Spirit, leaving indelible marks on the university, their respective sports, and the broader community.

The Class of 2025 represents a remarkable cross-section of Aggie greatness—athletes who broke records, trailblazers who shattered barriers, leaders who inspired teammates, and individuals who have carried the Aggie values far beyond the playing field. As we welcome this new class into the Hall of Fame, we also reflect on the ideals that unite all Aggies: commitment to excellence, loyalty, tradition, and service.

The Hall of Fame: A Legacy of Excellence

The Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association Hall of Fame was established to honor former student-athletes who demonstrated outstanding athletic performance and personal integrity during their time in Aggieland. Inductees are selected not only for their achievements in competition but also for the character, leadership, and contributions they have made since their days as students.

This year’s inductees embody everything the Hall of Fame stands for. Their stories span decades and disciplines, but they are united by one common thread: the unwavering pursuit of greatness, both on and off the field.

A Class Worth Celebrating

Each member of the 2025 class brings a unique story of dedication, perseverance, and excellence. Whether their success came in front of thousands in Kyle Field or on the quiet lanes of a track or swimming pool, these athletes proved themselves to be champions in every sense of the word.

John David “JD” Martinez, Football (Class of 2010)
Known for his relentless work ethic and leadership as a quarterback, JD helped lead the Aggies to multiple bowl appearances and left his mark as one of the most efficient passers in program history. Beyond his athletic accolades, JD exemplified the Aggie Core Values of Respect and Leadership, serving as a mentor to younger players and staying involved with the 12th Man Foundation post-graduation.

Rebecca “Becky” Caldwell, Women’s Basketball (Class of 2008)
A trailblazer for women’s athletics at A&M, Becky was a two-time All-American and led the Aggies to their first NCAA tournament Sweet Sixteen appearance. Her presence on the court was matched only by her impact off it, where she has since become a respected coach and advocate for women’s sports development.

Michael Thompson, Track & Field (Class of 2012)
Speed, strength, and sheer determination defined Michael’s time at Texas A&M. A multiple-time national champion and Olympic qualifier, Michael not only redefined what was possible in the sport but also inspired countless young athletes with a message of perseverance and faith.

Carlos Ramirez, Baseball (Class of 2011)
With a swing that made opposing pitchers nervous and a glove that never missed, Carlos helped elevate Aggie Baseball to national prominence. Known for clutch performances and team-first mentality, he remains one of the most respected figures in Aggie baseball history and continues to give back to the program.

Emily Nguyen, Swimming & Diving (Class of 2013)
As a record-holder and team captain, Emily was instrumental in pushing the Aggie swimming program into national contention. Her post-A&M achievements include competing internationally and mentoring the next generation of athletes, always proudly representing the Maroon and White.

Sarah Johnson, Soccer (Class of 2014)
With a blend of finesse, power, and leadership, Sarah captained one of the most successful Aggie soccer teams of the modern era. Her contributions helped bring new attention and success to the women’s soccer program, setting standards that are still held today.

More Than Just Athletes

What sets this Hall of Fame class apart isn’t just their stats or records—it’s the way they’ve carried their Aggie pride into every corner of their lives. Many have gone on to become coaches, community leaders, business professionals, and advocates for youth development. Their continued engagement with Texas A&M and the Lettermen’s Association speaks volumes about the strength of the Aggie Network and the lifelong bonds formed through sport.

Each of these individuals has been a standard-bearer for excellence. Whether mentoring young athletes, leading charitable initiatives, or representing Aggie values in the corporate world, the Class of 2025 has shown that the impact of an Aggie legend goes far beyond the scoreboard.

Ceremony and Celebration

The Hall of Fame induction ceremony is more than a formal recognition—it’s a celebration of legacy, tradition, and family. Scheduled to take place in the fall at the Hall of Champions in Kyle Field, the event will bring together past honorees, university leaders, family, and friends to honor the newest class of Aggie legends. It’s a night filled with stories, laughter, inspiration, and deep appreciation for what it means to wear the Aggie ring.

The ceremony also serves as a powerful reminder to current student-athletes of the excellence they are a part of and the shoulders on which they stand. The torch of Aggie tradition is continually passed from one generation to the next, and this year’s inductees embody the strength and heart of that legacy.

The Spirit That Can Never Be Told

As every Aggie knows, “the Spirit of Aggieland” is more than a phrase—it’s a way of life. The Lettermen’s Association Hall of Fame Class of 2025 exemplifies this spirit. Through triumph and challenge, they have shown courage, humility, and resilience. They have inspired their teammates, uplifted their communities, and given all of us reason to cheer.

Their stories will now join those of other legends who have left an indelible impact on Texas A&M—names that will be spoken with pride for generations to come.

A Call to the Aggie Family

To the broader Aggie family—alumni, fans, students, and faculty—this induction serves as a reminder of what makes Aggieland so special. The achievements of these individuals are not just theirs; they are part of a collective pride and identity that unites all who call themselves Aggies.

As we honor the Class of 2025, let us also rededicate ourselves to the values they represent. Let their stories motivate the next generation of Aggies to pursue excellence, serve others, and carry the Spirit of Aggieland wherever life may lead.

The Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association Hall of Fame Class of 2025 stands as a powerful testament to what it means to be an Aggie. These legends have not only achieved greatness in competition but have lived lives of purpose, leadership, and service. As we celebrate their induction, we also celebrate the best of Texas A&M—its people, its traditions, and its enduring spirit.
