The 2026 class features footballer Robert Jordan, swimmer Jeanne (Miller) Hill, and women's basketball standout Haleigh (Henson) Panaggio.
 
Receiving special recognition as a part of this year's Hall of Honor class are loyal Reddies Ross and Lonette Godwin, who are the recipients of the Willie Tate Meritorious Humanitarian Award, and former men's basketball standout Hubert Langley, who is posthumously receiving the Distinguished Service Award.

 
ROBERT JORDAN (Category I: Football and Men's Basketball)
A Third Team All-American and First Team All-Region selection in 2012, Jordan ranks second all-time at HSU in receiving touchdowns (20), and third all-time in receiving yards (2186) and receptions (147) — all of which were accomplished in just 29 games for the Reddies. Also a standout on special teams, Jordan returned 33 punts for 483 yards and two touchdowns in his career and ranks second in Henderson history in punt return average (16.1 yards per return). Jordan, along with teammates Kevin Rodgers and Darius Davis, helped set numerous HSU records offensively. In Jordan's final two seasons, the Reddies averaged over 50 points and 500 yards of offense per game. A two-time First Team All-GAC honoree, Jordan had nine games where he eclipsed 100-yards receiving in his career.
 
HALEIGH (HENSON) PANAGGIO (Category III: Women's Sports)
The most prolific shooter in program history, Haleigh Panaggio (Henson) set multiple school records from beyond the arc during her four-year career on the hardwood for the Reddies. The native of Greenwood, Arkansas is Henderson State's and the Great American Conference's all-time leader in 3-pointers made with 293 in 110 career games and ranks sixth in program history in scoring with 1267 points — an average of 11.5 points per game for her career. A Second Team All-GAC selection as a senior in 2018, Panaggio was also a two-time Academic All-GAC honoree.
 
JEANNE MILLER (Category III: Women's Sports)
Jeanne Miller was a five-time NSISC champion swimmer in three different events for the Red Wave women from 2012-15. A versatile competitor, Miller won five New South Intercollegiate Conference (NSISC) individual titles during her time at Henderson State in the 400-yard individual medley (2013), the 100-yard butterfly (2015) and the 200-yard butterfly (2013, 2014, 2015). Her time of 2:02.65 in the 200-yard fly as a senior in 2015 broke the league record at the time. That same season, Miller finished 10th nationally at the NCAA Championships in the 200-yard fly with a still-standing program record time of 2:02.34 and also finished 13th overall in the 100-yard fly. Miller holds Red Wave program record times in both the 200 freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle (5:03.45). She has Top 5 times in school history in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:43.65), 100-yard fly (55.48) and 800-yard freestyle relay (7:41.37).
 
HUBERT LANGLEY (Distinguished Service)
Hubert Langley was an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention selection in 1967. He ended his career at HSU with 1061 career points and 249 rebounds and was a 75 percent free-throw shooter. After his career at Henderson ended, Langley made arguably his greatest contribution as a public-school principal and basketball coach, reaching countless lives over a 30-plus-year career at Pine Bluff, Strong, Mountain Pine, and Idabel (Okla.) high schools.
 
ROSS AND LONETTE GODWIN (Willie Tate Meritorious Humanitarian)
Loyal lifelong Reddies, college sweethearts Ross and Lonette Godwin have been mainstays at every HSU event since their return to Arkadelphia. Furthermore, the couple have opened their home to countless Reddie teams over the years for meals, fellowships, and Bible studies. The Godwins have brought multiple generations to Reddie athletic events and now enjoy bringing their grandchildren to every event they attend.
