Three new members will be inducted to the Tusculum College Sports Hall of Fame during homecoming festivities this weekend.

This year's induction class includes All-American defensive back Ricardo Colclough; Tusculum baseball's all-time winningest pitcher Ken Hughes; and four-time South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Year Lesley Murray.

Colclough, Hughes and Murray will be inducted in ceremonies during the Sports Hall of Fame/All-Alumni Dinner on Friday beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the General Morgan Inn.

Ricardo Colclough starred on the Tusculum gridiron in 2002 and 2003 where he was named a consensus All-American by six organizations during his senior campaign. He was named the Football Gazette's Division II National Defensive Back of the Year and was considered one of the top cornerbacks in the nation at all levels.

He was the only Division II player invited to play in the Senior Bowl, where he earned the North Squad's Most Valuable Defensive Player Award. He helped lead Tusculum to a 9-2 record in 2003, a South Atlantic Conference championship, and a No. 19 national ranking.

Colclough, a native of Sumter, S.C., was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the most outstanding football player in Division II. In April 2004, he became the highest-drafted SAC football player ever when he was chosen in the second round and was the 38th overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

His six-year NFL career includes stints with Pittsburgh where he won Super Bowl XL, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs.

Colclough's name is peppered throughout the Tusculum record book, where he currently holds a dozen school records.

In 2003-04, Colclough was also named the South Atlantic Conference Male Athlete of the Year and Tusculum College Male Athlete of the Year.

Ken Hughes recorded one of the best pitching careers in the history of Tusculum baseball from 1991-1994. During that span, Hughes accounted for a 32-8 record for the most pitching wins in school history. After posting a 9-7 record in his first two seasons, Hughes finished with a flurry, going an amazing 23-1 with a save in 29 appearances.

In 1993, he posted a perfect 12-0 record with a 1.69 earned run average. That year, he established school marks for most wins (12) and best winning percentage (1.00). Hughes was named to the NAIA All-District 24 Team and the All-Tennessee Virginia Athletic Conference (TVAC) squad.

The Morristown, N.J. native enjoyed a banner senior season in 1994, going 11-1 and being named the TVAC Player of the Year and NAIA District 24 Player of the Year.

His name is peppered throughout the Tusculum record book. Most notably, he is first in innings pitched (276.2) and first in career strikeouts (218).

Lesley Murray orchestrated the greatest tennis playing career in Tusculum history from 2000-2004. Murray was named the South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Year four times, becoming the first student-athlete in league history to earn the honor four consecutive seasons.

In 2004, she also became the first student-athlete in Tusculum history to be named SAC Female Athlete of the Year.

She posted a remarkable 64-2 singles record at Tusculum, including 20 consecutive victories to close out her storied career. The Monroe, Ga. native earned All-Conference First Team honors four times and never lost a conference singles match (22-0).

In her four seasons, she helped lead Tusculum to a 63-19 overall record, while capturing three South Atlantic Conference titles, a 2004 SAC Tournament Championship, while making four trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament. Her final three teams also finished the year nationally ranked.

In her rookie season (2000-01), she posted a perfect 21-0 record in singles play and 21-0 in doubles action with Academic All-American Pam Holt. Murray was named the SAC Player and Freshman of the Year and ended the season ranked No. 26 in NCAA Division II.

During her senior year, she led the Pioneers to their best season in school history as Tusculum rolled to a 20-1 record, while sweeping both the SAC regular season and tournament titles. Murray went 15-0 during her senior season and was named the SAC Player of the Year and SAC Tournament Most Valuable Player.

She also lettered three years on the Tusculum women's basketball team.

The 2004 Tusculum graduate is currently serving on the faculty at Greeneville High School, where she also is an assistant coach for the Lady Devils' basketball team, where she has helped guide the program to five trips to the Tennessee state basketball tournament.
