Hobart College Hall of Famer Jeremy Foley '74 will be inducted into the Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame. The bowl game will welcome its sixth class of inductees in conjunction with the 90th Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2024, in New Orleans.
 
Foley is the first Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame inductee to have served solely as an administrator. He was the University of Florida's athletic director from 1992 to 2016, an unparalleled era of success for the Gators that included six Sugar Bowl appearances. Florida's first Sugar Bowl appearance under Foley's leadership came in the 1994 game as the Gators rolled to a 41-7 victory over West Virginia. After a loss to Florida State in the 1995 Sugar Bowl, Foley and the Gators gained revenge in the 1997 Sugar Bowl as they defeated the Seminoles, 52-20, a victory that secured the first football national championship in UF history.
 
Foley directed Florida teams to 27 national championships. He is the only athletic director in Division I history to have overseen a program that has won multiple titles in both football (1996, 2006, 2008) and basketball (2006 and 2007). Florida ranked among the top five athletic programs in the country for 18 of Foley's 24 years.
 
A football and lacrosse player as an undergraduate, Foley helped the Statesmen go 19-7 in three seasons on the gridiron. In lacrosse, he was an attackman on Hobart's first national championship team, helping the 1972 Statesmen post a 17-1 record, while securing the USILA College Division National Championship.
 
A committed and engaged alumnus, Foley has served as a guest coach in the Napier Leadership Seminar. His support of HWS athletics was honored in the naming of the Raleigh-Foley-Kraus Varsity Strength Training Center. Foley has also received the William J. Napier '57 Memorial Award and the Hobart Medal of Excellence, the Alumni Association's highest honor.
 
Foley was inducted into the Hobart Hall of Fame in 2018. He is also a member of the Florida Sports Hall of Fame (Class of 2016).
 
The rest of the Sugar Bowl's sixth Hall of Fame class include 1997 Sugar Bowl MVP, Florida's Danny Wuerffel, 1973 Sugar Bowl winning Head Coach Ara Parseghian of Notre Dame and Alabama two-way star Lee Roy Jordan, who led the Crimson Tide to victory in 1962.
