Welcome to the Arizona Athletics Sports Hall of Fame, Nick Foles!

On July 22, 2025, the University of Arizona announced the induction of Nick Foles, the school's all-time leading passer, into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, recognizing his remarkable contributions to Wildcat football. Foles, who played for Arizona from 2009 to 2011, holds the program's career passing record with 10,011 yards and 67 touchdowns, completing 933 of 1,396 passes over 35 games. His standout 2011 season saw him throw for 4,334 yards and 28 touchdowns, cementing his legacy as the greatest quarterback in Arizona history. Foles' collegiate success paved the way for an 11-year NFL career, highlighted by his Super Bowl LII MVP performance with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns while also catching a touchdown in the iconic "Philly Special" play. His induction alongside Olympic gold medalist Kevin Cordes and All-American Ben Diggins underscores his enduring impact on Arizona athletics.

"I'm honored to be a part of the U of A Sports Hall of Fame. BEAR DOWN!" Foles shared on X, expressing his gratitude to the University of Arizona and its football program. His journey from a redshirt freshman to a record-breaking starter under coach Mike Stoops showcased his resilience, notably leading the Wildcats to an 8-5 record in 2009 and a memorable 37-32 victory over Oregon State in his first start. Fans and peers alike celebrated his induction, with posts on X calling him "the greatest quarterback in Arizona football history" and the only Wildcat to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. Foles' legacy, marked by his record-setting college career and NFL triumphs, continues to inspire Tucson's football community and beyond.

Congrats Nick!!
